B3TA fixes the worldMoon Monkey says: Turn into Jeremy Clarkson for a moment, and tell us about the things that are so obviously wrong with the world, and how they should be fixed. Extra points for ludicrous over-simplification, blatant mis-representation, and humourous knob-gags.

They're running out of brownfield sitesThere was something on the BBC News website about it recently.
Personally, I'd have a five year ban on pastiche Noddy boxes. Force them to build something different for a while instead of insisting that the crap they're building is what the public want. Oh yes, everyone asked would probably turn around and say they want something "traditional", but we rarely get a change to see anything different that might actually change our minds.

No brownfield sites? Really?The developers obviously aren't looking hard enough. With out-of-town retail parks killing town centres, perhaps the old shops in the towns should be replaced with flats, instead of being allowed to fall derelict - or be turned into short-lived bars/pubs.
And the moratorium on building the same old crap should apply to these new flats, so the city centres are revitalised by exciting new architecture.
