Exactly.
Well, wages haven't kept up.
If you look at what the average wage is today, comparable to what the costs of housing, etc.,
It's not kept up at all.
So the gaps widened and we've had a supply side problem.
This has been built up over a significant period of time.
And, you know, you're absolutely right to mention I've rebalanced some of the challenges that renters face, you know, around challenging rent hikes that they can only do it annually and making sure that people can't get no fault evictions, which has come in in May.
So we're doing things and we're making the changes.
But the challenge is this has been slowly creeping up.
for some time.
It's not something that has just suddenly happened.
And therefore, anyone who says there's just an instant fix to it, it's not true.
You have to do the hard yards.
And that's why I put the Employment Rights Act in place.
That's why I put the Lease and Common Hold reforms.
That's why I put the Renters' Rights Act in place.
That's why we put more money into social and affordable housing than we have done in a very long time.
It's why I made the changes to Right to Buy.
It's why I made the change into planning reform.
And I took on those that said we shouldn't be building more homes because we need to start getting on track again.
