London's housing crisis has reached a critical point, with new home construction plummeting and developers like Berkeley Group halting investments due to regulatory and economic challenges. ([housingtoday.co.uk](https://www.housingtoday.co.uk/news/berkeley-halts-investment-in-new-development-due-to-planning-and-regulation-concerns/5126761.article?utm_source=openai)) This episode delves into the factors behind the slowdown, including increased taxes, stringent affordable housing mandates, and post-Grenfell safety regulations, and examines how these issues are exacerbating housing shortages, driving up rents, and deepening inequality across the city.
