I'm not confusing anything. The housing market exists because there is demand.
These houses aren't staying empty. The excuses people historically used for invading other countries is completely irrelevant in this context.
We need more houses because our parents' houses are still inhabited by our parents at the time we generally decide to start our own family. These new builds don't lie empty. Christ, I live in one of the most sparsely populated areas of the UK, and there are people camping in the streets of new builds just to get a chance of a place on the waiting list.
We're having too many children at too young an age and then living too long. You can make any argument you like about other contributing factors to climate change, but that's what it all boils down to.
