Another unintended consequence is that by adding more houses the schools don’t have the places to take everyone in catchment and it ends up being decided on distance to the school which pushes up the prices of houses as you get closer to the school. For the good schools it’s effectively turning them into private schools, it’s just the extra money is going into the cost of the house and not the school fees.
I agree it’s not a reason not to do things properly, however my experience is things are not done properly and the houses are built before the proper steps are in place.
Gutted I've only clicked with them in the last couple of months. I need to revisit their first album cos I didn't like it on the first listen. Their latest one is f**king excellent. Modern World is up there with my songs of the year. Phenomenal record overall.
