I have done that. But the point stands: it's these major corporations that are pushing the smaller developers, who are building to meet local demand, out of the market. Whatever form Unnos takes, I'm convinced that it will benefit our local constructors, but this will ensure a programme of significant home building in collaboration with the public sector to ensure that we have quality homes that are beneficial for the environment, that are built with local produce, and that meet the demand in our communities, putting a roof over the heads of people and cutting costs for families in poverty. It's a vision, a dream, radical, ambitious—call it whatever you will, but it's certain to be better than the current failing system.
