Should We Bulldoze Into The Green-Belt?

(My thoughts after reading an article on the Guardian Website)

Should we bulldoze into the greenbelt? The greenbelt is the rural area that surrounds cities that is protected so that building can not take place on it. It is the suburban area. It is where the middle classes live where they can have access to the city and are also situated in amongst open fields and un built on countryside. The middle classes pay for this privilege and would not want to see this land built on. But at what expense is this to the poor? 5 million people in britain are waiting for suitable housing. Not building on this land means families are homeless or squeezed into inappropriate housing. It also means that people in cities are losing their gardens so houses can be built on them. On top of this, it means that schools are losing their playing fields so houses can be built on them. Green groups are allegedly promoting the idea that 2/3s of britain is concrete. Apparently though only 1/10th of britain is in urban development. What do you think? Do the middle classes deserve their suburban heaven? Do you support the green groups? Or should we bulldoze into the greenbelt?
