Not quite sure what your point is, BarCar


lacb has interpreted my point pretty much exactly and elaborated earlier in this thread when they also said:

If however, you can put your ideas across in a more accessible form, why not start your own society and see how you get on?


This thread is, to me, about as inaccessible as it gets. I think the participation levels in the discussion are probably indicative that I am not alone in forming that opinion.

You asked:

do you have a view on whether you want more affordable housing?


I would agree that more affordable housing is desirable in principle but I'm not arrogant enough to presume that my personal opinion will have a significant influence on policy.

Since local amenity societies are self-selecting and volunteer in nature I think it's unrealistic to expect them to operate on the more strategic level you seem to think they should. That's not to say that they shouldn't I just can't see it happening since many of us are time- poor.

We are all, of course, free to stand for election to the FHSoc board to persuade it's members of the need to think more strategically.
