Yeah, and if they can successfully achieve what you said, that would make Brexit successful, would it not?

It’s not possible but your the one who said they would spend the next few years working to get every benefit of the EU like free trade without rejoining, if that was pulled off, then Brexit would definitely be a success.

And they don’t have to go back to the EU although it makes the most sense, they can really go anywhere else in the world and try to get a trade deal, it’s really a matter of pride as to who they go to trade with.

This sounds unbelievably risky. I would be very careful if i were you

If Britain can manage to get back every benefit of being in the EU without actually being in the EU, that will be potentially the biggest success story that could possibly come from brexit.

Well that would make Brexit a huge success would it not?

Thanks for your comment, I do appreciate it, and I will check out that youtube channel. But are you telling me that there are failed states in the west? And if so could you name one?

I took this almost word for word from a paper (albeit the introduction). I wasn’t just posting something I heard 20 years ago.

Clearly, there is a conundrum where there is overbuilding and “ghost towns” on the one hand, and where millions of migrants and urban poor lack basic housing on the other hand.

If you took my comment to be anything more than just a kind of statement question hybrid then that’s my bad, but I don’t feel there is need for anything more than a correction.

Erecting an entire city in the middle of nowhere is not a good way to make a city. Cities are like living things in that they have to grow and develop overtime. People won’t choose to move to a city with no one else there on the promise that there will be other people there in the future, you’d have to pay people to live there, either directly or through subsidised living costs. It’s much better to let a city grow naturally over time. It doesn’t need to be much time, a couple decades would probably work, but you have to let it expand naturally.

Rejoining isn’t necessarily inevitable. Any damage is already done and any gain from attempting to rejoin the EU within the next decade or so will be undone by the show of political instability.

Now that the UK has left, it’s better to stay out and just make do with what they have. Maybe if the government was less incompetent or more forward thinking then the UK would be able to use the fact that London is the second most important city in the world and do something actually useful or innovative.

20% of urban households in China own multiple homes, compared to 13% in the US and 10% in the UK. China suffers from having too much property in some areas where lots of it sit empty and not enough in others where people lack basic housing.
