The secret is there are too many beneficiaries to expensive houses to really move governments into fixing the problem properly. There are a Million Millionaires thanks to housing prices and they'll be really cross if you go and make them as poor as the others.

It's not really a secret, though. It just isn't something spoken about in Parliament because it's a huge hit button issue.
