Of course, how could I forget the brownfield sites.

I’ll let all the young people know there isn’t a housing crisis after all, and seeing as the millions of EU nationals residing in the UK don’t need housing, young people needn’t worry.

The housing crisis has nothing to do with us EU nationals, and all to do with your goddamn English Parliament we cannot even vote for.
It’s good to know EU nationals don’t need housing, so the millions residing in the UK aren’t adding any pressure whatsoever to our existing housing crisis.
Not any more than in any EU country, no.

And yes, the fact that a lot of voters don't really know what's going on (or suffer from cognitive dissonance, fostered by the terrible English tabloid press) is a large part of what's going on.

But I'm sure things will improve dramatically from 1 January... /s
