Tempting as it is to say dream on, instead it is better to look at why this is not likely. Dambisa Moyo, an economist published Edge of Chaos in 2018. From p.136 I quote
‘The root cause of this skepticism about democracy is also the crux of the forces that have brought us to the edge of chaos: we have embedded in both business and the democratic political system a predilection for short-termism.……..Correcting just this one problem would do much to address virtually all of the specific challenges to economic growth that we confront today.’
Mending the broken housing land supply system, and levelling up need long term policies. Local residents do not understand. It took me a long time.
