I agree with the broad thrust of his point, and I’ve significant reservations about the reforms, albeit tempered by the likelihood that they’ll be challenged in the courts.
Ultimately however, I think Clifford is being somewhat coy. The media have at all times sought to foster an attitude that the only solutions to housing supply are significant, aggressive actions.
You cannot then turn around and complain when that happens.
People whined about NIMBYs, about development being delayed, about too many legal actions, and the government, various departments, etc, have, as is the usual course, acceded to those demands.
