Let’s do the More or Less thing. Is that a big number?

• England has a land area of just over 13,046,000 hectares^1^
• 215,000 / 13,046,000 = 1.6% of England we’re talking about here.

I’m big on environmentalism and regenerating England’s natural habitats, but trading a percent or so of total land area to ensure people have homes seems like a no brainer. Ideally we’d build higher density to avoid having to continue suburban sprawl, but any homes > perfect homes that are never built.
