Ken was mumbling a while ago about using value capture to fund Crossrail -
as soon as it's built, house prices in places it serves will go up, which

the right time.

No, it won't, until they sell.

It seems fair that some of that money should go to the
state, which build the railway in the first place!

I trust that this will not take place until the house is sold.
