It’s really just a case of building more stuff. It doesn’t actually matter who owns it.
This. Supply and demand sets prices. Always has, always will until we live in the promised workers' socialist paradise. If house prices are too high, you need more houses. The problem isn't who owns the houses, it's how many there are. And that's determined by planning controls which seek to artificially limit development, the inevitable result of which is higher prices. All the rest is just lost in the noise.

Nah. Capitalism is OK so long as you build loads of council houses, keep building them and don’t then sell them off cheap.
