Something the taxpayers are unwilling to tolerate. The government can more easily constrain the activity of buy to let investors than they can raise the massive sums needed to re-enter the rental system in any real way to mitigate the removal of buy to let properties.
Simply slightly extend the policy currently in place, at least in my area, where any new building project is required to dedicate a small % of the new properties to social housing. Government get their new properties built for free and we avoid the problems seen with council estates in the past.
