LVTs - that's where it's at

Here's a conclusion for those who would hope that once again we might abolish serfdom!

Think what you might about the housing market right now; who wouldn't want a nice home for themselves and their family to live in? What we don't need is a system which encourages the exploitation of the basic need for shelter, where we talk constantly of "shortages" whilst people mothball, or simply abandon, building sites because their profits might fall to a slightly less desirable level and people stockpile and celebrate their status whilst others wonder if they'll ever have a basic desire for a home to call their own satisfied.
How much of the system required to protect the investments of those who might consider they've been "shrewd" or "enterprising" have they really been responsible for or contributed positively towards?
