Re. 19:34: not so Banbury, DRC does have a middle class - a small and emerging middle class according to AI via internet search - but a middle class none the less. False information by you at 19:34 Banbury - it was a bit dismisssive and perhaps biased alongside your negativism towaards RRR. DRC also has an upper class and a working class.
Maidit may have not got it right with a million homes a year but his extrapololation from 2k to 200 million ... was in the context of 26 factories well within a a product range of 3,500 - 5000. The estimate of £200 million was more likely based on the potential range between 91,500 and 130,000 potential products from 26 potential factories.
The incorect million homes a year was without relevance to Madit's estimate of £200 million - which was not a prediction and your counter.
If the target of 142 factories was to achieved and the range of products was between 3,500 - 5000 per factory - that would be between 497,000 and 710,000 homes over the duration of assembling 142 producing factories. I have regarded factories and "plants" as interchangeable.
If a million homes are the eventual aim, I don't the expectationis for RRR via the joint venture to achieve all of that but it will be interesting iver the next several years to what they can contribute via the joint venture.
There arecdifferent types of housing and potential hosing so overal number of new homes intended over the next several years could be greater than one million.
The Uk hasn't had that much bew housing stock since the 1980s in my opinion, perhaps anclusive of the late 1970s as well. Cardboard City near Waterloo station ( according to AI) first started around 1978 - so that was during Callaghan's Labour Government - got worse under Thatcher's Governent - not removed under Major's Government - removed under Blair's Governmentvin 1998 - early in the admistrationsoo possibky Johnajor and Kenneth Clarke contributed a basus from which that could be achieved, therecwere a lot of rough sleepers on the streets of London, outside shops etc whem I was working and going out during the second half of the nineties though that did observably improve with Blair and Brown.
But were enough new UK homes, in general built in the early years of new Labour? Are we anywhere near building enough new homes in the UK at the moment?- I remember one election and it was Labour and perhsps the Brextit Party candidate - or possibly Ukip - might have been 2019 and 2017 general elections - it was those two local candidates - who were the ones talking about building on brownfield land.
Further... it is considered by some that (using my own words as quick interpetation - so overlapping with my opinion of what they have said - if not perfectly accurate) less valuable green belt land for new housing might be be an option - maybe I say but tge grren belt - even bits of marsh land and green belt whuch is not producing food or not part of nature reserves, rambling territory etc i
