Why do they "need" to do anything?
> they won't acknowledge the hypocrisy
While I'm perfectly happy to criticize "progressive communities", there's nothing hypocritical about not wanting to live in a London with 25M people.

If you live in London now it's probably because you or someone in your family benefited from a system that now excludes anyone not already in it. We ditched the landed gentry a few hundred years ago, I'm not super excited about bringing them back.
- anamax 5y agoWanting to be landed gentry is not hypocrisy. ("want to be landed gentry" is your interpretation, but I'll stipulate it for the purposes of this response.) Note that a significant fraction, probably even a majority, of the 10M prospective Londoners would much rather live in today's "only 14M London" than the "25M London" that you think should happen. Are these prospective Londoners wanna-be landed gentry hypocrites?
