It is sweet and seemly to go to a food river bank/shore? (Romans didn't have banks as such, maybe you should have looked up store or treasury) or maybe cura annonae

Germans are probably just try to figure out how we had a city the size of Sheffield arrive every year without any new infrastructure. Will be interesting to see how they solve the same issue.

You forget that a city the size of Bristol leaves the UK every year.
And a city the size of Glasgow shuffles off this mortal coil every year

And our economy requires a growing tax paying population to sustain itself.

What do you mean, no new infrastructure? Blackfriars / Victoria / London Bridge stations look amazing now, Crossrail is continuing, and once they get the HS2 going it’ll be great.

Oh, did you mean schools and hospitals? Those aren’t the priority of the current government’s backers...

Not environmentally sustainable is it.
