You think everyone believes Trident presents good value for money?

I don't see any viable alternatives - so value does not come into it

None of those are perfect, never will be. No harm in improving them

Well, market forces and the private sector have made a right pigs ear of
providing housing. Unless you are pretty wealthy.
