What a shambles. UK housing market broken, right from over-priced land to the stuff in this article - why don't we adopt best practice from other countries? No wonder there's a housing crisis.

I saw this superyacht today in Oban Bay and remembered the infamous quote, “For most buyers an estate is a luxury purchase to enjoy, not unlike a superyacht or a Lamborghini”. https://t.co/rPJzltYu2h…In contrast, communities buy land so that places can thrive. #landreform #Oban

Some form of land value capture an obvious way forward.

Why does the world still allow trophy hunting? We've done so much harm already. RT if you think there should be a worldwide ban on this barbaric practice.

Nature is amazing. Protect it.
