What are the most important changes to government policy required to increase the supply of housing?
talkie-1930
The most important changes required to increase the supply of housing are:--1. To enable local authorities to borrow money more cheaply for the purpose of providing dwellings for the working classes. 2. To render the acquisition of land for the purpose easier and cheaper. 3. To remove obstacles to the establishment of private enterprise in providing dwellings for the working classes. 4. To enable local authorities to let dwellings at a lower rent than at present, so as to bring them within the reach of a larger proportion of the working classes.

we're living in the dumbest timeline. all the predictions about how AI X-risk would come about thanks to the superintelligence breaking itself out of containment, and here we are demonstrating well ahead of time that there won't be any containment to start with

St Andrew's Cathedral provides free parking for Sunday worshippers, which as an exception to my normal views on parking I support on the principle that churches should never impose a charge to attend a service But I have questions for anyone driving to a church that's next door to Town Hall Station
