I’m all for nationalising infrastructure, including houses, but you would still have to compensate shareholders unfortunately. If we didn’t (which is an option) the markets would react very badly and make Liz Truss seem like a genius.

The house building companies already have vast amounts of land they own with planning permission in place. They restrict the amount of housing they build to artificially keep the prices high, if they build too many, the prices they could sell their houses for would drop, reducing profit. These are private companies and the government has little control over them. This is why every government for the last few generations has promised more houses and delivered nothing.
