    It’s a stupid assumption of capitalism that anything unprofitable isn’t worth doing. Where the market fails to provide, government can step in. Government used to build social housing. There is an intense demand for futureproof housing, like resilient passivehouse styled housing, that private won’t do because it’s not profitable and government won’t do because they forgot they could do anything if they really wanted. A world dominated by energy concerns and climate change necessitates this.

    We will dither until there is blood in the streets.
