I want to run one of @Ben Pace’s polls at the bottom here. Please could people put statements that they might want to agree or disagree with relating to this essay as comments here. Some starters:
If the UK wants to grow then it would do well to give energy production, housing and infrastructure a higher priority
France is able to be dysfunctional and still wealthy because it gets the basics of housing, energy and infrastructure right
The UK Town and Planning act was probably very damaging
If the UK wants more growth it should build more housing where people want to live
I think that cities would generally grow more if they had more people in them
