OK so a poll. I want to challenge a popular idea that the UK is crowded. Except that it does seem like it is crowded when I go there...... However the population density per km2 of usable land in Switzerland is almost double that of the UK, but here it doesn't seem too crowded, especially outside the cities. The Swiss have relevant laws - when a commune(small local entity about the size of a church parish) wants to increase it's population, it has to build appropriate infrastructure to accompany it. Immigration is proportionately similar or higher than the UK I might add. So - is the UK really crowded, or is it just that successive governments have allowed massive immigration and have done nothing about the infrastructure, allowing the elites, banks and land cartels to milk the situation, squeezing everyone in at ever-higher prices?
