An astonishing new report on how to build more walkable, climate friendly, well-designed homes led by local communities—from @createstreets by @SCP_Hughes and @bswud—comes with broader support than we have ever seen before. Huge thanks to all who made it possible! #Supurbia 1/
Interesting on embodied carbon in new buildings: "If we recycle steel elements within a building and replace it with a new timber frame building, we could potentially sequester enough carbon from the atmosphere to start creating an embodied carbon deficit" ribaj.com/intelligence/r…
This is the dumbfuckest thing I've read this week. Northern towns and cities are as well aware of the value of their Victorian heritage as anywhere else. The issue is that property values are too low to pay for expensive restoration and maintenance.
Not using it for solar or biofuels doesn't make any sense. Both are needed for environmental reasons. Likewise neither of them permanently damage the agricultural quality of the land and our ability to return it to food growing potential if necessary.

This is of course completely incompatable with the brownfield first approach CPRE demand that would see these sites concreted over or at best made inaccessible.

You cannot humanely* push costs down for a given property except by increasing supply. *(Reducing wages and/or the population don't count)

They'll supply as long as they make a profit. Literally no one reduces supply to zero in response to a reduction in the rate of increase in prices.

How on earth did we end up in a situation where the Dublin editor of Ireland's 'newspaper of record' refers to new rental housing as 'the indestructible cockroach' of Ireland's housing sector with its 'spores' spreading into the suburbs? Shocking tone. irishtimes.com/news/ireland/i…
Exciting to see the first big bridge in #Brighton and #Hove for decades being built @uniofbrighton
Personally if I were to pick someone's claims on supporting social housing to take seriously I would probably not pick a literal landlord.
Unlike you we have never advocated for planning deregulation. The @yimbyalliance exists to promote options that allow communities to obtain more and better housing if they wish. We also attempt to correct any market failure by actually supporting social housing projects near us.

@thatinterlace Unless the council had some sort of development plan which required 40% social homes on all housing projects (which I doubt), this is truly bizarre
