Only to the extent that all government is central planning, as I read it. Your sewage system is centrally planned, but that's okay, right?

The UK can't make stuff because the rent is too high. Fix this and a lot of stuff downstream of it will change.

the uncomfortable truth is it would make property less interesting for foreign money flowing in the UK.

The UK wouldn’t accept the pain necessary to start making things again just like we were never going to accept the changes needed to make Brexit a success.

How could we have made Brexit a success? I really didn't see many people saying how we could do that.

		Redefine success to “kids leave school for factory jobs and never have to hear someone speak another language”, tada.

		The people who were talking about Brexit for decades turned out not to have a plan. Shocking. That's populists for you.

What pain? All you have to do is lower the rent.

Making brexit a success is scheduled right after proving P = NP. You know, because we do the easier things first to keep the queue short.

Central planning is making the rent too high. The UK isn’t rich enough for stuff to be expensive because of extremely high demand. Its expensive because it’s too hard to build stuff.

		Maybe they should fix that.

		It wouldn't have such a dire need to build stuff without constant high immigration tbh.
