Why? There are other people living there already you know, it won't just be
for the new estate.

developers to paying £1 billion for the extension of the Northern
Line, one has to wonder whether the outlay of taxpayers' money will
ever be recouped.


Has the money spent on the JLE been recouped? Or any tube line? How do you
propose to measure it?
