I think most people living in Islington would disagree about brick “huts” and prefer their town houses to massive high rises. I mean in Stratford these high rise apartments are being built but what you’re proposing is knocking down probably a few percent of current homes and then almost certainly not compensating owners fully (as it would cost too much for the land). You could actually argue that cross rail is a better strategy - more homes available by having fast rail transport from the suburbs might work better for cities than building even more homes...
