- Description:
- The document is a response to a previous letter discussing the issue of high prices in the real estate market. The writer expresses support for price controls and suggests implementing a tax on profits from the sale of homes held for a short period of time to prevent speculation. They also advocate for keeping restrictions off builders to encourage a building boom and suggest that curbing speculation in the real estate market is necessary to avoid economic disaster. The document also touches on the issue of veterans buying homes post-war and the potential for government intervention in setting prices for property sales.
