Energy Crisis

Well, wholesale demolition & replacement of a lot of old stock could potentially solve a lot of issues. I own & used to live in, a modest sized, but well built Victorian terrace, and although nice in some ways, there's more than just energy issues. 

However, we can clearly see that the UK way of doing so would remove all these old streets, densely packed around the railway station & centre of town, and replace them with low density “luxury”, “executive”, 3 or 4 bed detached houses, vastly reducing population density & potential for low-everything travel, and bankrupting the town centre even more.

Hard to persuade Brits to live in efficient apartments, perhaps because our builders either make them tiny or lacking storage, and/or gouge the occupants.

Says he, in his leafy bungalow!
