It turned into a terrible mess. Prices fell and people could not sell without making heavy losses. The unemployed faced foreclosure when they could not meet their mortgage payments. Local authorities stopped building because the Government wanted to limit it only to the free market. Once more there was indigence in the teeth of affluence.
Today there is more than enough for everybody.
If you want a house or a flat, or you want to move, you just go to your local housing agency and tell them what you want, where you want it. It is rather like booking a seat on an aircraft. It is all done by computers in a matter of seconds. And everyone treats every property as though it were his own. Because that is the climate of our culture and Green values are built into it.
