And rightly so, IMO. At some point you have to accept that you aren't in London any more, and the green belt is as good a point as any to do this. Much better

Much better than an interminable urban sprawl.
- irremediable 12y agoI don't know. I know a few people who live in green belt areas and commute every day to work in central London. Clearly, in some sense, London doesn't end there; and it drives up costs for them and many others. At the same time, I agree that it would be terrible to lose all the countryside vaguely near London. Perhaps your top-level comment was right: London has just reached capacity. But I'm not convinced of that, either; there are plenty of bigger megacities.
