Building houses for teachers, guards & nurses on pub land still depends on devs building for a profit they set.
To break the cycle, setup a state building company that hires workers on high wages at scale & removes the profit incentive.

Then a discussion on which professions deserve special houses on public land.
It's COVID vaccines all over again.
I know people want to give solutions, but treating the symptom (teachers need houses) instead of the cause (market fundamentalism) is folly.

I can't believe what I'm hearing. They're talking about restricting work permits to manage demand on the housing market.
39k work permits issued in 2024.
It wouldn't make a dent & cause skills shortages elsewhere in the economy.
