Why do Brits hate housing investments so much?

America is younger than some of the buildings here and have way more landmass to work with.

France and Germany had been utterly wrecked in the world wars and had room to build better infrastructure.

UK just got bombed.

The entire government of England is in that one building?

>>fucks up our country twice
When did we "fuck up" your country twice??? We weren't responsible for the deindustrialization that Thatcher carried out.

England, Scotland, Wales, NI and even the one of the UK. It is a tragedy.

Maybe most of it is underground? It doesn't seem possible. How many people could fit in that building. 80-100

Since those are the residences for heads of state shouldn't the british image be of the royal palace(s)?

Smells of post-monarchist insecurity to me...

Around 27 people. Not even kidding.

heads of governments, not heads of state.

The US president is both, the French president too. The British PM is not the head of state and the German chancellor isn't the president either.

Mass immigration leading to population growing faster than housing can be built, and green belts, which basically stop anything from being built immediately outside a city. Means the cities can't grow geographically, and must grow upwards in tower blocks instead.

Also, some suspect there's a housing cartel that deliberately doesn't develop large amounts of unused land such as old industrial areas to keep pricing high

There's roughly 1.4 million empty homes in the UK as of now.

>and must grow upwards in tower blocks instead.
Why should that be the case?

Germany managed to distribute its population across many cities. Why can't the British empire concentrate on cities other than London?

>>131792142
lol, 3 times you fuck yourself over to spite us when we had no hate against you, and then you dare to complain?

>>131794142

This is kind of accurate.

Paris wasnt destroyed during the war.
Élysée palace dates back to the 18 th century.

>>131791262
That's a shitty excuse, Paris of today has been built during the IInd Empire (so 1852/1870).
Also we lost so many gorgeous historical centers during the two WW it's kind to painful to think about it, my entire city has this fucking commie block architecture from the post war.

London is better structured than Paris though, it's more at human scale, there is too much concentration in Paris.
