I'm not advocating a return to conditions that I have a dim recollection of (I am just old enough to remember my parents having an inside toilet fitted and Jack Frost on the windows looked lovely to the 7 year old me but the 60 year old me really likes his central heating thankyouverymuch). However, I think there is a case for some careful relaxation on what kind of buildings can be used for housing. Still regulations, but allowing (say) bedsits for single people &c
No return to slum landlords, they weren't cheap mind you but often very expensive.
