Britain in a few years due to immigration?

We have a long way to go before reaching the population density of The
Netherlands, or even Belgium. Some of the most densely populated
countries and territories in the world are Monaco, Gibraltar, Vatican
City, Bahrain, Malta, Jersey and Guernsey.

That's because we have mountainous regions which are not suitable for
housing.

Dartmoor/Exmoor/Yorkshire moors. These are all vast areas, largely
unpopulated yet, but perfectly habitable.
There are many other large areas that are suitable for building houses
on.

But do we want every square mile of the contry covered in houses ?

Of course not, but there's still plenty of room for many more houses
without taking too much of the green belt.
There also many brownfield sites to be built on.
A heck of a lot of rich landowners need to release the land that they are
sitting on and waiting for a profit. They own lots of land that is doing
nothing.


Define "nothing".
