First-time buyers could have a chance to get on the housing ladder, we could restore some sort of sanity to London's crazy housing market and, most importantly of all, we could at last house the poorest and most vulnerable Londoners, instead of sending them off to Stoke and other northern districts... London has simply run out of space...
