This would result in some great new buildings, with eclectic styles and taste - a real addition to our capital, rather than the faceless government housing schemes that have destroyed so much of the city. No existing council or government-owned housing would be allowed to remain empty. There would also be pressure to use the space over shops - many London high streets are empty above shop level. Multiple use would lead to safer streets and livelier ones. These courses serve social as well as educational ends.
Students can study anything from belly dancing to the bassoon.
Currently the courses are underfunded and too expensive, which means they are undersubscribed and many have had to shut down. We should turn to alternative means of transport, such as rickshaws, bicycles and horses. Reduce the number of cars coming into London by imposing a direct tax. We should give people incentives to buy electric cars by allowing them to park anywhere. Parks, squares, churches and the Thames should be open night and day.
