      Welcome to the future.



      I've always thought they should built flats on roundabouts.
      74 square feet? He's having a giraffe! That's literally barely large enough for a family of hamsters, or certainly rabbits.

      and £750 a month rent? What planet do these daft architects live on?

      You'd be far better off buying a second hand campmobile or whatever it is called, a large lorry/caravan, and living in that.

      I've always thought they could build fairly self-contained "ziggurats", sort of multi-storey pyramid shaped tower blocks, with nice dwellings and private terraced gardens all round the exterior, and shopping centres and public amenities in the interior. The main snag is the larger footprint, and thus land cost, they would require.

        .
        1m immigrants per year arriving, where will they all live? In 75 sq foot sheds put over Tesco's car park, £750 per month Tesco would receive for each one. They would love this.

        And the sheds would keep the rain off your car whilst you are shopping. Win win.

          All the land is owned by a few rich bankers.

          These huge country estates have thousands of acres.

          I would build on some of this land.

                WRONG


                The queen owns all land .

                even the land your house sits on .

                Under our legal system, the monarch (currently Queen Elizabeth II), as head of state, owns the
                superior interest in all land in England, Wales and Northern Ireland – even freehold land is not
                owned outright, as the monarch has a superior interest. This is not usually relevant, though it can
                become relevant if freehold land becomes ownerless. If this happens, freehold land may, in some
                circumstances, become owned by the monarch as the owner of the superior interest. This process is
                called ‘escheat’.

                don`t worry londoners zac will look after you
