“> But hey, I'm sure you're the first to vote against any measures that would actually improve things like urban density or public transportation. To the contrary. I don't believe in being punitive and taxing people who live a life different from mine or hold conflicting beliefs. I don't believe in lecturing people on how they should live their lives as long as they don't start to lecture me on how I should mine.

I do not assume a right over another person's decision and freedom to choose how they want to live their own life as long as they don't tamper with my own. We are adults.

But that does cover quite a lot of people - I would say much of the population of London and the most central bits of Manchester and Birmingham, which is easily 10-20m people.”
