This England

There's something dangerously wrong with a society in which nurses, teachers, fire fighters and police officers can no longer afford to live in seven out of every ten towns. The relentless rise in house prices, exacebated by New Labour's fixation with statistics and school league tables, is a threat to the very fabric of British life. The matter is simple: if the market doesn't cool down substantially and soon, the government must manipulate prices to ensure that key and poorly paid workers can get on the housing ladder.

And I'm not biased at all.
