Rather coincidentally, the Policy Exchange, a British think-tank on government policy, has just published a report called Maggie's Children about how the generation born between 1980 and 1995 will fare in the future.

They say that my generation will be poorer than my parent's generation and have more debt and poorer access to housing. One of their recommendations? A laxer planning system! I'm pretty impressed I managed to put together an insight that a government body actually agrees with for once.. and here I was thinking I'm really just a radical crackpot.
