The UK government announces a £2bn boost for affordable and social homes | Open City

A smarter use of public funds? 💸🏘️

'It would cost £205bn to eliminate the social housing waiting list... and there would be savings to the [£15.6bn annual] housing benefit bill'

Great to see the narrative around office-to-resi conversions turning around for the better. The most sustainable buildings are always the ones already standing 🙏🌿✨

There will be a complimentary crusher and trolley system so drivers can take their vehicle as luggage on the cable car instead?

That's really interesting, I've taken a break from socials other than to flag new podcasts going live (which I do here, on X and IG). I'm interested to see what happens next as it feels both X and Bluesky are simply 'legacy Twitter'... space for something new/offline?

Thanks! That layout was by Surrey model railway club and for me captures a very familiar moment in history. There were some really impressive artworks on display, a unique event!
