Also fun fact >50% of big infrastructure projects in the UK end up in court "causing average delays of 18 months & adding millions in costs" This country needs investment, this country needs infrastructure, this country needs to actually build some stuff www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/02...

This is why Britain can’t get anything built (and how we might fix it)
Red tape, soaring costs and Nimbys – it’s no wonder Britain’s dreams of modern infrastructure never seem to leave the station

People overestimate how hard change is, because they listen to people who don't have agency in their own life. They underestimate what is possible, because they are listening to inaccurate reporters.

common misunderstanding: things improve because people choose better reality:things get so bad that people seek alternatives. they do this because its cheap + painless vs the status quo it’s push first. your job is to provide the ‘pull’ the scariest push at the moment? away from nation states

The local angle matters as the geography of the housing crisis has shifted enormously since the planning system was introduced. While in 1950, housing availability was low in poor areas, by 2019 housing availability was low in expensive areas in and near London.

Invest in founders who obsess about industries. People who obsess about industries learn and discover stuff others simply don’t know, or care to pay attention to. That becomes their superpower. To use that ‘secret’ knowledge to build something new, different, worthwhile.
