1940's box ticking

Really good article last Friday in City AM by Dr Kristian Niemietz (senior research fellow at the Institute of Economic Affairs) on Help to Supply - it's good to see some more excellent commentary on why we should release more land for building and how we should decide what land should be released.  Land should be judged by its actual environmental and amenity value - and not by an archaic classification.  A little focus and some political investment and courage will go a long way and make a big difference to the lives of many people.
