Getting harder to live in the country? Near impossible unless you have money. Over 90% of us live in towns and cities. I would say 25% of them would run into the country if they could.

The 7.5% settle of the UK is a very hard figure. The average person thinks 60% is built on the propaganda is so effective.
We should not be in the business of making large land owners super rich. And creating a situation where we can't even walk on the land.
Once again we cannot sprawl anywhere, as there is just too much land.
A matter of basic freedom. If I want to build a house and live in the middle of a field I should have the right to do so - SSI, national parks excepted of course. We live in a controlled state. No government wants to give that control up.
Speak to a brainwashed bumpkin about opening up land and more that likely he will immediately spout that you are a commie or something for taking away the riches of the large land owners. They do not know what freedom means.
I agree WW, I have flown all over the World and I concurr, it's all green. All I say is, what we have isn't dense housing. It's designed rubbish. to get more people in without imagination. We need new architects, with vison, proper vision, to design the next generation of buildings.
76% of architects agree according to Washington University.
See what I mean about statistics.
