Are New Towns the solution to the UK's housing crisis? Well they are if you are of the view that the crisis is essentially a supply problem (too few houses being built)...
if you are of the opinion its a problem driven by financial services (linked to the provision of crest including buy-to0let mortgages), or the result of a mass of under/un-utilised housing stock, then New Town might offer some relief but are hardly an overall solution.

pro tip: ffmpeg is really easy to just use yourself in the CLI
You really do not need some ad-laden website or GUI to use it for 99% of the use cases
examples:
ffmpeg -i somevideo.mp4 someaudio.mp3
or
ffmpeg -i music.wav music.flac
etc
(converts files)
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf scale=-1:720 output_720p.mp4
(scales it down to 720p and compresses it)
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf "fps=15,scale=480:-1:flags=lanczos" output.gif
(creates a gif)
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -an output_silent.mp4

Les fleurs, le nain et le géant
La fleur se laisse aller
L'autre ne lui réussi pas
La faute au jardinier
Qui les a mises là
La fleur est un remède
Si vous l'avez en intermède
Faites-en un repas
Mais parbleu en appas
C'est une misère... Le canna!
Voyez plutôt mon dégât
Avec cette fée
Qui défait
Un paradis de ses mains
Le désenchante
Parce qu'elle s'empoisonne
Sans qu'elle bourgeonne
Et moi que je chante
Que je sois le nain
Reste bien dans le jardin
Et jardine avec le géant

Atteso dal 2020, il ponte ciclopedonale per raggiungere la metro Anagnina è ancora fermo.
I comitati di quartiere hanno organizzato una protesta per chiedere la realizzazione dell’opera, ritenuta essenziale per garantire accesso sicuro al trasporto pubblico.

Moin ihr Lieben und einen chilligen Sonntag euch allen!
Hier wird es noch etwas arbeitsam, aber ich hoffe, dass so ab 15 Uhr dann auch fauler Sonntag angesagt ist.
Das Dackelini macht es auf jeden Fall schon mal richtig. 😄
Das Bild zeigt ein kleines, braunes Hundchen, das friedlich auf einem weichen, farbenfrohen Kissen oder Bettlaken schlafen. Das Tier ist in einer entspannten, zusammengekauerten Position, mit dem Kopf auf dem Rücken und den Augen geschlossen, was auf einen tiefen Schlaf hinweist. Das Fell des Hundes ist lang und wellig, mit einem Mischton aus Braun und Gelb. Die Hintergrundfarben des Kissen oder Bettlakens sind in einem sanften Farbverlauf von Rosa und Gelb, was eine warme und gemütliche Atmosphäre schafft. Der Hund scheint sich in einem ruhigen und sicheren Umfeld zu befinden, was durch die sanfte Beleuchtung und die weichen Textilien unterstrichen wird.

Secondo la Cgia di Mestre gli italiani non sono più i maggiori tartassati tra i cittadini dell’Area Euro. Attualmente, tale primato negativo spetta alla Francia.
Infatti nel 2024 la Francia è stato il paese con la pressione fiscale più alta nell'Area Euro

È un paese molto simile all'Italia, con grandi discriminazioni, con un'integrazione che ha più problemi di quella italiana, se pensi agli attentati vari che ci sono stati e per fortuna in Italia no.

Le proteste sembrano più grandi, più sentite delle nostre, ma in realtà i francesi sono numericamente di più degli italiani, quindi è normale che ti sembrano di più, quindi fa più effetto visivo.
Loro hanno dei punti forti, ma anche dei punti deboli, che magari sono diversi da quelli italiani, ma pesando stiamo lì.

Noi ci lamentiamo che le nostre leggi sono inefficaci (e lo sono a volte), immagina in Francia.
Questo come esempio, che noi non siamo così peggio dei francesi e loro non sono così migliori.

in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May • • •We definitely need more houses
But we also need a different way to buy them
Combining the primary form of investment that's available to ordinary people with one of the most necessary basic needs is a fecking terrible plan
But also, the houses need to be good
They need to be solidly built, energy efficient, spacious, good storage, outside space, good public transport links, etc etc
Not a bunch of ticky tacky that will fill with mould and have nowhere to put your bike!

Yup, but that seems unlikely in the current political climate, where quantity over quality seems to rule
CAFCA47
in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May • • •I worked for 2: Glenrothes in Fife 1976-80 & Skelmersdale 1981-84.
Glenrothes revived the central Fife region from a mining slump & was fairly successful, although rushed house-building & latent issues problematic throughout New Towns.
Skelmersdale was a disaster - merely exported Liverpool issues to an isolated neck of the woods & amplified housing issues.
Not sure the concept is right for the current decade/century.

Schroedinger
in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May • • •Are they going to build large numbers of affordable housing? No. It will be middle-class housing at middle-class prices, which is not what is needed at all.
It is seeking to solve a problem by giving money to the already wealthy. That is not an answer.
Emeritus Prof Christopher May
in reply to Schroedinger • • •@SteveClough
Indeed in London the GLA is seeking to rescue the affordable housing proportion for new developments after companies from.... developers.
Eliza MB
in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May • • •How about turning that on its head? Once the ‘affordable’ housing is built and occupied they get permission to build the market priced ones.

Yes, the existing housing stock is *clearly* a major aspect of the issue, although not so clear to the Landlord class
Nini
in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May • • •Solve the problems of having unoccupied spaces and using what buildings exist first before going off to build new housing. Provide the need before building new estates on greenbelt.
Like "I remember when this was all fields", all this should remain fields is what I mean.

Yes, some new housing *is*required party for demographic & economic reasons of the changing geography of the UK economy (but that can also be shifted by encouraging business to move as well)... and a better mix of dwellings is required.
The issue of sustainability of an adequate hosing mix & supply is (as you suggest) the key Q. & one that seems too big for our current craven political class.
