Investigative reports: Chris Coates, author of Utopia Britannica, and one of the starters of a co-housing project in Lancashire Co-housing, discusses his co-housing project and co-housing generally: price of building a two/three bedroom house about £60k - but average London rents now reached £18k/year or £1,500/month. So four years of rent of the average London home will build you a new house. Squatting, renewable energies – particularly hydro energy. PMQs – the need for more social housing – housing benefit paid to private landlords up £1.5bn – homelessness, right to buy, less people registered to vote, housing bubble, how much it costs to build a house; after crash in 1930s large council estates built afterwards. Becontree in Dagenham is generally considered to be the largest council estate (population over 100,000; the largest public housing development in the world), with Wythenshawe in Greater Manchester the second largest. Utopias - fear of potential revolution so workers given gardens to stop them going to political meetings, garden cities and co-operative servant share. Chilcot Inquiry delay – South African nuclear weapons and Tories; capitalism – oligarchy not democracy; North/ South divide in Britain? – the con peddled about austerity and the economy; prospect of the poor keeps Cartier boss up at night – social warfare, propaganda and war in the media.
