Ya this is the best policy to get the results by discouraging the rampant home builders and promoting the commercial builders. But how they become aware about the economic situations.

Something like this can’t happen very easily in the UK for a few reasons. You lack the land in which to do it. England is a tiny island that has had most of its basic settlements situated for centuries longer than we have in the US. The average age of towns in the US with populations over 50k is less than a hundred years old. Secondly every time you start new construction in the UK and most of Europe for that matter you have to bring along a couple of archaeologists, who are as likely to halt an entire project for years as they are to approve it. Lastly it is a mindset that differs between our people on a fundamental level. Most Brits wouldn’t know what to do with 5000 sq feet of house nor the acre it would sit on. In the states people not only think they need that they often get it and bitch and moan it isn’t enough. Simply put we have grander dreams…

I agree, i think that we should capitalize on the buildings and houses that we have now and fill those up and use them to the fullest. just because there’s room doesn’t mean we need to expand especially now.
