Anglosphere doesn't build - France builds. FT has an article on nimby tax on Britain and America https://www.ft.com/content/9aa0fcc0-31fb-44be-b5a0-57ceb7fb7a52 https://www.ft.com/content/9aa0fcc0-31fb-44be-b5a0-57ceb7fb7... In Britain, you can get planning permission and sit on it for 3 years, doing land banking. In France, it expires after 3 years. In Britain anyone can object to anything - solar panels get noise complains from people that live 2 miles away. In France, there are penalties for bogus complaints and you must be materially and demonstrably affected. Apartment owners are treated like medieval serfs in UK - after buying one for a million dollars, you must beg landowner for a licence to have a cat, and renew it annually for a fee. https://www.ft.com/content/dca3f034-bfe8-4f21-bcdc-2b274053f0b5?shareType=enterprise https://www.ft.com/content/dca3f034-bfe8-4f21-bcdc-2b274053f...
