HS2 was an ongoing project, it was threw. It was simply cancled by a fucking asshat person who tried to appeal to the far right in a series of stunts to save his sorry ass.

New housing has to be built along transportation corridors. If you want to efficiently build housing, you have to extend transportation infrastructure into areas and then grow towns around that.

This isn't actually hard and has been done for 100 years but somehow in modern day many countries are to stupid to understand this.




HS2 spent years and billions trying to keep the moaners in the chilterns happy. The number of tunnels is insane.

The M40 didn’t have this problem.

Yes transportation goes without saying. Places like Telford and Milton Keynes and the likes. There are tons of places on the WCML that could have MK style communities.
