You can have your arguments with the wind all you want. As the discontent with housing keeps growing, more and more people will reach for the obvious solution of stopping increasing the bodies to beds ratio. Whether this makes economic sense or not. Once this group reaches significant enough proportion, they'll get pipsqueak in office and then shit's gonna get real.

In order to avoid this, the LPC may have to play a bit of the immigration card, in order to defuse this and be able to say - see we reduced immigration and the problem is still bad, it's the other solution we really need, and pipsqueak's immigration promises won't do shit for you!
