What's the answer to the Housing Crisis?

"We don’t build enough private homes of the right kind in places where people actually want to live, pushing up prices and rents to ridiculous levels." 

What's the answer?

"THE STRUCTURE OF THE UK MARKET REQUIRES RADICAL CHANGE: we need a more professional private rented market. That means institutions owning tens of thousands of homes, including entire streets or apartment blocks and providing very long-run tenure and security for those who rent and a better, modern service. Private rentals remain a cottage industry, unlike in some other countries, and are riddled with inefficiencies."

I don't think the answer is more social housing, I think the answer is better, more organised private housing. The Government shouldn't have to provide housing, the market should do it better.
