No, you're wrong there. What I consistently argue against is building on greenfield sites. For example, right now in Cardiff, there are 1,300 empty proprieties standing, unused. They should be renovated and we should put people back in them. What I'm actually talking about is the inability of people to save a huge, huge deposit and buy a property. It's reinforcing inequality. And until we enable people to buy their own houses and we enable people to be independent in their own lives in that way—in asserting their own personal sovereignty—then we're not going to really address the issue of class inequality. Diolch.
