The UK housing crisis isn’t just about productivity. Hold productivity fixed, and increase floor space, amenities, access to public transport, consumer choice in housing. Is this a UK we’d prefer to live in? Presumably yes.
We can still disagree about where to stack-rank it on our list of priorities, but that’s not really what we’re discussing.
Maybe? For the median person, healthcare seems better, disposable salaries are higher, variety and quality of food is generally stronger. The US does a lot of things better. Housing, for sure, is one of them. But I’m not sure how this is a response to my point. Could you clarify?

[This one needs work]
Isn’t the case usually that housing is the single greatest factor between a US and UK standard of life? Or do you not agree?
