Obama mentioned that in one of this books. He wanted to abolish people living in the country (unless they were farmers), and have everyone living in the cities where "it is more efficient". He wanted to "outlaw" anymore suburb building.
England does this because their country is small and they wanted the countryside for agriculture. You can't build any new home on any farmland. Socialist mentality. In the 1960's they nationalized their power, mining, and utilities. After 20 years in became inefficient for the government to operate. Margaret Thacher sold off the government owned mines and utilities and privatized as much government owned stuff as possible. She never could get rid of government medical care. England went from the 3rd largest economy in the world after WWII to the 7th.
