Why Can't I Buy A House?
How can we build more physical infrastructure? What are the political and economic barriers to building more homes? Is this purely a political problem, or can technology do something to help?

You’re probably looking around and despairing. Technological progress has stalled, the world is at war, people hate one another, culture is deteriorating, and people seem obsessed with finding ways to believe things that are very clearly not true.
The bad news is: You’re not imagining it. Something has gone
terribly wrong in our civilization.
The good news is: You get to be the hero who saves the world.
There is no longer time to look at the status quo and expect someone else to change it. Those other people have retired, gone golfing, or died. Those people failed to make our civilization better, and worse yet - failed to prepare us to fix what’s broken.
You and I - we - are the last chance for western civilisation to get back on track. If not us, who?
The people stopping us from building houses? Nope.
The people trying to shut down Nuclear Reactors? Nope.
The people striking at the thought of automating trains? Nope.
We can have flying cars, colonies on Mars, personalised medicine. All in our lifetimes. But we have to be the ones that make it happen. No one else will do this for us.
We have a choice:
Will you be a child of the future, or an orphan of the past?
This is a marathon, not a sprint. It'll take time to make the
changes we want to see, and to keep us motivated we need community
of like-minded people.
Join us at our next event, the rest will become clear.
Future London is a community of high-agency techno-optimists. We host events, both public and invite-only, to get more people building.
We believe that the UK is broken. But it doesn't have to be.
