the speed at which critics of labour have switched last week from "the economy is toast because of Reeves!" to "the economy is doing well and it's Reeve's fault!" I don't think it was a great budget and it was tinkering and won't deliver many of the things the country needs - but it wasn't the disaster some people on here have been predicting for months either and they hysterical reaction from the likes of Dan Hodges and cronies is embarrassing -
There was/is a specialist dry cleaner in Bellenden Road but don’t know if it is still there. -
"they are usually built very cheaply" - as I understand it, the consensus is that homes are not being built at all, so not sure how they fit your description. Have NO idea what you are on about with your climate change rules - but I suspect you just think the whole thing is a hoax anyway "no-one who has any choice would want to live in them" - again they aren't being built so not sure how this applies. So if a new street of housing was built somewhere in SE22 - you think people earring 50k, currently unable to get their own home would not want to look at any new houses because of the reasons you describe? I doubt it. And today's cheap housing becomes tomorrows desirable, unaffordable homes - it's snobbery to say houses built before (say) 2000 were great and everything after is cheap and woke "they are built without any thought as to how the new residents will be offered basic services such as GP surgeries, transport links and schools etc," crikey - 15 minute cities are desirable so! Joking aside, I have seen towns expand and not enough thought is given to infrastructure etc - but that's as much to do with the horse trading done with locals to get the things built in first place. (someone will say "they can't have a shop there because it will take business away from someone else. And no pub because, I dunno drugs. Something" also - if you are going to build more surgeries and services (and we should) then you are going to have to tell all the people currently being told to ;eave the country to, erm, not leave because we need their expertise "but we can train brits to do those jobs" - how has that worked out for any country? Need immigration as well folks But one thing we can't do is continue to not provide homes for all the people growing up and as they leaves schools and unis. And if we are not going to provide homes, and the value of your 1M house becomes 2M because of scarcity of housing, maybe don't complain too much if we need to claw some of that unearned income back because "actually, I'm the real victim in all of this"

Fascinating - you're actually picking up on the and overlooked critical point - is the infrastructure in place and able to support the additional number of occupants.
