FT.com: Capital projects face funding cuts
Indirectly related to houseprices, but it looks like all that PFI "hidden debt" is about to resurface, hitting capital investment.. such as a plan to build all over the green belt?

But the sustainable investment rule is seen as increasingly discredited and both economists and the Conservatives have been urging a rewrite – something Mr Darling could use the accounting change to achieve with minimal political damage.
