RE: On London's Housing Shortage....
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Is it really viable to keep making London bigger? There are other areas of the country in need of a boost and they may have spare capacity. I'm happy not to work in London any more, but I never lived there. Hundreds of houses are being built around us and I expect some will go to people doing the commute to the capital as we are less than an hour away.
With so much lost industry there must be plenty of brown field land, but some will be polluted. There's all those old factories Chops explores for a start.
We do need better housing that is more efficient as much of it is ancient.

I know what you mean, commuting makes more sense, but then... trains!
I honestly don't get where the demand is coming from when fewer jobs are place based and there's plenty other decent places to live.
There's also a lot of snobbery around WHERE one lives in London too of course!
