"Council houses to be built for asylum seekers in new scheme
Five councils - Brighton and Hove, Hackney, Peterborough, Thanet, and Powys - have confirmed to The i Paper that they are keen to take part in the pilot
The Government pilot would aim to allow councils to buy more properties, including in new housing developments where homes are failing to sell, to boost their social housing stock and reduce the reliance on private contractors.
Initially properties would be leased to the Home Office, but could later revert to social housing"
So, increasing shortages of homes and prices will also increase as you have a price limit, the government can tax you more to cover any price.
