I can relate to this. There is something uniquely depressing about seeing green areas disappear under concrete, however much those homes might be needed. I know there’s a massive housing shortage but we also only have a finite amount of land, and we need it for a lot of things, including food and biodiversity. There needs to be a much more deliberate strategy for how we use our land. More urban sprawl cannot be the answer.

Absolutely - using land deliberately is a really good way of putting it
