English people need to learn to live in apartments. It’s one of the most densely populated countries in the world, and even in London there isn’t enough building upwards. I don’t mean skyscrapers, just the 5-8 story lateral flats that most Europeans live in.
Letting developers build single family housing wherever they want is going to destroy the countryside in a generation.
