520			_aEvaluates the plethora of government and non-government solutions to the inadequate supply of affordable housing. Government recognises that providing more homes is not enough. They must be homes in which people want to live and which allow communities to grow and prosper. Highlights the issue that although the vast majority of the housing requirement is for one-bedroom houses, the market place is delivering executive three-or-four bedroom houses, the most profitable development category. Looks at: limiting homeowners' profits from their property; a tax on all land by reference to its optimal use; the Barker recommendation to build more homes; key worker housing and finance; housing density; and the issues surrounding schemes to provide cheaper housing. Suggests embracing innovative use of land and building techniques and introducing new house funding mechanisms such as credit enhancements and pre-mortgaged homes.
