Green spaces in poorer parts of England are less likely to be protected against being bulldozed and developed than those in more affluent areas, according to a new study.
Overall the number of designated local green spaces has increased by more than 700 in the past 12 months. But today’s report, by rural charity the CPRE, reveals that parks, public spaces and small areas of trees in more deprived areas are less likely to be officially protected.
Not surprising, the land will be cheaper for property developers to purchase and maximise their profits.
Surely the housing requirement is where poor people live? Wouldn’t it make sense to locate the houses where they are located?
Rich people don’t need anyone to build more houses for them.
Here in the Netherlands they have an idea. If they were to build an extra street of houses at the edge of existing housing estates, where possible, it would be a lot easier because then they wouldn’t have to build new shopping centres, clear natural green areas, etc. And the cost would also be a lot less because most of the road infrastructure would already exist.
This country treats everyone without money so discgustingly
