We build 3 million homes - or leave these families in Dickensian misery

Guardian, George Monbiot - It sounds preposterous: 3 million new homes in England alone by 2020. My instinct is to fight this project. It threatens Britain's countryside, the character of our towns, our water supplies and carbon targets. Today the housing and regeneration bill, which will help to implement this building programme, has its second reading in the House of Commons.
