Polls repeatedly show the public prefer the housing on the left. Yet they’re given the housing on the right. Why? My new Policy Exchange report, S.M.A.R.T. Density, tries to find the answer and prove how achieving the density on the left could fix the housing crisis. A thread.

It's almost Christmas, so here's a c.1940 photo of Christmas in Chicago, with the street full of streetcars, the sidewalks bustling with people and the Christmas lights tasteful and elegant.

Despite what many people think, we are capable of creating architecture that is as good today, if not better, than any time in the past. To prove this, here are a few exceptional buildings that have been recently completed (~last 10-20 years, including this picture below!) ⬇️

In light of the UK Government shamefully forcing Leeds to delay/possibly cancel yet another tram, did you know the city had Britain's first overhead-powered electric trams in 1891? Here's a photo of better times, c. 1910, when the city was criss-crossed by dozens of tram lines:

The Francesco Paolo Tosti Theatre in Ortona, Italy, was inaugurated in 1930 and sits on a square with a view of the sea. The city gave the land for free to Royal Navy engineer Tommaso Pincione, who covered all build costs and it was finished in less than a year.

Few better places to spend a sunny, chilly afternoon than puttering along narrow, icy lanes in the Cotswolds. It’s the best of England.
