Expanding the area available for construction can stimulate the housing market and make properties more affordable for every income group. We also need to ensure that we're building sustainably and integrating communities effectively.

While I deeply sympathize with vulnerable families facing eviction, a blanket ban is not the solution. It could lead to unintended consequences, such as landlords being unwilling to rent to vulnerable tenants in the first place. We should focus on providing targeted support and increasing access to affordable housing so that families don't face eviction in the first place.

As a former leader of a dynamic city like London, I believe that selling certain parcels of public land to private developers can stimulate economic growth and provide much-needed housing. It's essential, however, that any such sales are carefully managed to ensure they benefit the community as a whole.
