Demolishing arguments

[Waterways]

Your argument is starting to get aggressive waterways. I've said already that this is a discussion of politics and it is best not to get into it on this forum.

You just don't stop saying... read this that I've written, read it again, read it again and understand it this time. I understand it, I just don't believe it. I have different views to you. I fail to see how developers, with restrictions lifted wouldn't just take off into ever increasing spirals of buying land, building unsustainably on it and forcing people into poverty. You see it differently, but that is about values not understanding.

You clearly don't understand market forces....or not else for that matter. Read the links I gave and understand them.

The pioneering project will now be used as a model for redevelopment across the country.

AHDC was formed to participate in the enormous task of regenerating areas of deprivation in England’s cities.

Ian Robinson, chief executive of AHDC, said: “AHDC anticipates investing in excess of £20m to totally transform areas across the UK in a roll-out programme using the Tancred Road scheme as a role model.”

An inquiry by MPs found the number of homes flattened by housing market renewal projects, such as Merseyside’s NewHeartlands, dwarfed new ones built.

It also found waiting lists for rented properties in housing regeneration areas had doubled.
