Housing crisis...your view?

ToneControl

Current Planning rules are anti-humanist I seriously believe  - they are based on dogma from the 1950s and 1960s

The countryside is deserted compared to 300 years ago
You can drive along roads and see a house every mile or 2

All new house building has houses  12 inches apart with tiny gardens, inadequate parking, and little privacy

There is no reason for any of this, what is being protected? Hedgerows?

Spreading the same number of people more widely, rather than making existing towns and cities more and more  densely populated is the answer. Why cram people into a town as if we are living in an area  short on space like HK or Monaco?

The house builders are businesses that  try to make a profit based on the law. Current planning regs distort what they can do, and fail to compel them  to make houses fully fit to live in

Look at the  garden cities of the early 20th century

Scatter those who wish to have a bit more space and peace along country lanes, 200m apart

All new house building should include a tax to pay for local infra and service upgrades,
and minimum standards for  dwellings per hectare should be improved drastically

Ireland (excluding Dublin) has accidentally done a much better job
