| Mr I'm All Right Jack, you're a local resident, and you're objecting to the proposed housing development on the outskirts of this town. Why? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| It might reduce the value of my home - er, sorry, I mean "mumble, mumble, noise, mumble, infrastructure, traffic, mumble, blot on the landscape." | |

 | |  |
| So you expect the town to stop expanding just so you can have a green view out of your window? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| We're running out of countryside. Only 89% of this country is green space. With three million new homes, that could drop as low as... erm... 88%! | |

| Forgive me, but how do you imagine your own house got here? It's not a natural part of the landscape, is it? It was built in living memory. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Yes, but that's different. It was built when *I* was aspiring to get on the property ladder, so it's OK. | |
