Nothing under the sun needs to be ugly. As a culture, as a society we can stop choosing it.

Every year for the last 40 years, France has built more homes per person than England. If England built at French levels, it would have almost 3 million more homes. French homes are, on average, a fifth bigger that English homes.

There's something so likeable and inspiring about that recommended reading list that came with The Sims. It's the idea that so much thought went into the game and that, like the game itself, it seems to hum with a sense of *possibility*. The titles themselves are so interesting.

This is absolutely right. The current planning system reinforces the plc housebuilders' oligopoly, making it difficult for SMEs to scale. That's why planning reform is necessary—we need more competition.

Kentish Town station was closed for 18 months to do this. I’m sure it was value for money though…

When was the last time someone tried running on the promise of extreme competence in government? I’m pretty fed up of the left vs right nonsense. I just want an effective, technocratic government and civil service.

Now that we're finally being sensible about the green belt, is it time to extend the Northern Line to Bushey Heath using the redundant tunnels, and create a settlement in this gap between Edgware and the M1?

Precisely. And that will only come by de-risking planning. This need not mean “a bonfire of the regulations.” It just means establishing clearer & locally acceptable requirements for intensification & growth do that a far, far wider range of individuals & firms can create homes…

The thing is, we're way too reliant on big housebuilders to deliver the homes we need. Of course they'll say that planning reform isn't the main issue because—to them—it's not. What we need is diversification: 3,000 developers building 100 homes; not 30 companies building 10,000.
