and sort of like screw the nimbys and just on it. but in and just get on with it. the why starmer is the reason why keir starmer is unwilling make deal out unwilling to make a big deal out of because the labour of this is because the labour party and the conservative party, despite backbiting party, despite their backbiting at very at each other, are actually very similar this. similar in relation to this. there big plans for there isn't any big plans for there isn't any sort of certainty about their ideology around it. are like pro around it. are they like me, pro more liberal immigration, but up for a debate about how we change the are they maybe the system? or are they maybe like others who are who want to have fewer numbers and are more crackdown? there's no sense of where party really stands . where each party really stands. all rowing has been about all the rowing has been about important things like the system not able work and not being able to work and whether not there's whether or not there's legionella bibby legionella on the bibby stockholm assumption

, to nimbys, local opposition to building new houses and to build 1.5 million homes what he 1.5 million land, which is green belt land, but it's car parks and so on. i think that's not going to go down very well in red wall areas. of course, people need housing, but people are also very conscious to predict the countryside. so he seems struggling to seems to be struggling to present himself as a kind of almost more tory than tory. and i don't necessarily think that's going to play very well for him. but the reality sparkles were nice. >> yeah, but reality is, >> yeah, but the reality is, stephen, we've never built 300,000 a single year 300,000 homes in a single year in the last 50 years. >> no , proportionately. harold >> no, proportionately. harold macmillan did it. harold macmillan did it. harold macmillan in the 50s in macmillan did it in the 50s in proportion population proportion to the population at the time. what's the particular time. but what's fascinating richard, fascinating about this, richard, can you and gb news can i just say you and gb news should actually be given credi

the nimbys didn't exist at the time and not saying go board of supervisors trying to maintain housing, but that is what we did. i want to make sure we dont wake up and in 5 or 10 years and go wow, we made a bunch of monster homes that sold for $1200 a square foot and we ended up getting rid of best of the best. that i think-that's what i want to communicate to the mayor office, which is let's have-the rep letter said that, let's have real incentives here for more density at more affordable rates without the loss of the most affordable housing we have which is existing rent controlled housing stock. >> i'll say one last thing based on your comments president peskin which is, the other side of that coin is, i wonder these smaller rent controlled units that would be demolished to make way for more density, how much of that is that really? if we protected those units, in the cost benefit analysis, what is the number of those 82 thousand units would be will be in the way of and i think probably not that much. because most of this is geared towards larger development. development on the cor

you know, some people want like nimby, don't want. not in my backyard or some say yes in my backyard. but it's very difficult when we try to strive to live here, you know, and jobs are slow right now. it's really it's really devastating. and so we're just trying to see if we can get this project approved so people can move forward. and you know, because i know a lot of people here, they're suffering right now. you know, and we just want to have a better time. and if jobs can move faster, you know, i know there's a lot of permits that take time to come through. but you know, some people oppose even on on the board, you know, you guys and the commission, you guys agree and some don't agree, you know, because you guys live in the community, too. you might not want to see things happen in your, you know, people because of the homeless people here and, you know, the drug thing, everything is really bad here. and then people are saying, you know, break ins and people are leaving. you know, a lot of people working at home now and so it's dif
