Amazing things can happen when supply is allowed to respond to demand.

‘At the current rate of demolition, a new home built today has the same implied lifetime as the great pyramid of Giza – 5,000 years. I have not yet met anyone who thinks this is possible, let alone desirable.’ - @Jamrat_ for @LGHFabians conciliocomms.com/stories/homes-…
It wouldn't be wholly unfair to call this policy an Amazon subsidy. If development was allowed then rents for industrial users would shoot up. Residential uses are much more valuable per square foot and densities can be much higher.
New: London needs more homes, but new brownfield development is effectively banned in some of its best connected locations. Here's case for building on 'strategic' industrial land near tube stations. (Thread) samdumitriu.com/p/does-london-…
Could some of London’s industrial land be better used for homes, asks @Sam_Dumitriu: samdumitriu.com/p/does-london-…
Lots of people are calling for homes with fewer windows to reduce energy use. They're wrong. Windows are solar panels! They're solar thermal, like solar hot water panels. Windows let sunlight inside where it heats up your home. You can selectively shade them to let the winter…
NEW: Keir Starmer says he will create a new class of “grey belt” land earmarked for development that has few natural or aesthetic qualities! thetimes.co.uk/article/labour…
The Barton Swing Aqueduct is a moveable bridge that literally takes one canal over another. It was built in three years with 1890 technology. How long would it take to plan and build today? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barton_Sw…

Eurostat also has the average size of said flats. So not only do Londoners pay the same rent on 3/5 the salary, they also get 20 fewer square meters to live in!
The Federal Statistical Office puts the median monthly wage in the Geneva region (almost certainly higher in the city itself) at CHF 6849 (roughly €7,000) vs. £3,635 (€4,260) in London according to ASHE . I'm at a loss for words.

Your occasional reminder that the big pillars at South Kensington tube station aren't holding up the roof - they're the supports for a 1970s hotel that was planned to go above the station.
The absolute insanity of this is that no one has any way to pressure the environmental agency to build a new reservoir. It should be their statutory obligation to provide water for whatever needs to be development gets made, rather than making them a veto player.

Perhaps design does matter after all? dezeen.com/2024/04/12/bor…
But we need to understand that the cause of high rents is an under-supply of housing (to buy or rent), which puts renters in competition with each other for insufficient number of homes. Trying to hold rents down artificially (as we do already in social housing) won't fix this.

Industrial land swaps can allow for re-development of industrial sites without reducing the amount of space available for businesses.
And it should be noted that London's is currently failing to build enough homes to keep up with job growth. x.com/sam_dumitriu/s…
London isn’t building enough homes to keep up with demand. In fact, for every 10 jobs London has added in the last decade, the capital has only built three homes. How bad has it got and how do we get London building? (Thread)
"Strategic Industrial Locations are the workplace for tens of thousands of Londoners." Yes, but it does not follow that the jobs would disappear if the site was redeveloped. Some industrial users would move to cheaper parts of the UK, while others would find ways of co-locating…
There are some well-connected locations where London Mayor regulation requires they be used as biscuit factories and Deliveroo depots. They can’t be used for homes even though they’d rent for 5x or 10x more. This should be changed.
Could some of London’s industrial land be better used for homes, asks @Sam_Dumitriu: samdumitriu.com/p/does-london-…
People love to say "Los Angeles shouldn't exist" as if this location isn't in one of the tiny patches of paradise on Earth.
@TheMurkyDepths There are quite a few architects out there who think this is what constitutes "design".
@yimbyalliance It simply would not be built no? It would be deemed has having an unacceptable impact on the environment, and be squashed by the planning system.

Recently chatted to a scientist who made an interesting point that lab space doesn't just affect volume of output, but the kind of output as well. When space is plentiful, researchers can do their riskier, more longshot research alongside as the safer stuff they have funding for.
