Cheaper cars are not free. They are not even “free”. > Free construction has a similar fate, which is why planning permission is more difficult than it has ever been. This is new to me. Planning permissions are difficult because the rulling class makes their money from owning property, and thus they prefer to keep the housing supply thight, and their wallets thick. They would do this even if the cost of construction would have increased. (Which it often did.)
