Re: Local/devolved elections 2016

So we build a gazillion new homes in London for more people to live in and still noboday has anything to say about when enough is enough for the infrastructure London relies upon. Not just transport, but stuff like sewers, utilities, schools, hospitals etc.

It strikes me as odd that when it comes to motorways we're told that building more of them just encourages more people to use them and makes the problem worse. Well if we just carry on building more homes for more people they'll be filled up with more people. What we need isn't a rapidly growing population, what we need is to control population growth and starting with mass uncontrolled migration seems obvious to me.

New migrants may well not own cars but anyone who seriously believes that they aspire to build new lives here, have families etc. yet not own cars is living in cloud cuckoo land. Taking kids anywhere on public transport costs a fortune.
