We had an exchange earlier about the living city initiative and a discussion about the relative lack of a drawdown under it. The living city initiative is a micro and deeply targeted scheme at neighbourhoods in a small number of cities. While I completely understand why the Deputy might see it as being analogous to what he is looking for, there is no comparison with the level of scale. We are talking about a small number of houses, whereas the Deputy is talking about large communities. That is why we can do it, but we cannot do what the Deputy is looking for.
