More Housing Shortage Bollocks from the NHF

More garbage out this morning from the National Housing Federation about a supposed threat of a severe housing shortage making homes unaffordable to 'ordinary people' (patronising bastards). Take all this with a huge bucket of salt.  Their business is selling houses at the highest prices they can get.  Do they really expect us to believe they care a toss if a shortage forces prices even higher?  It is THEY who are causing the shortage by refusing to build on the big portfolios of brownfield land they own until market prices recover. This is all just part of their on-going PR campaign to scare/bribe the Government/local councils into relaxing greenfield planning controls so they can massively improve their profit margins by building on the cheap agricultural land they have options on.   Their campaign seems to be working, the only question being is that because the Tory party is too dim to see through it or because it it has its own snouts in the trough?
