Shows what can be safely done with the right Authority attitudes.
I think making like for like comparison between the vast skies of America and the crowded and confused state of UK Glass G airspace is a comparison on volume of airspace and NOT about "right authority attitudes". Even if the authority had the right attitude and instigated a restructuring of UK airspace the GA populous would be up in arms. Anything other than the status-quo is unpalatable.
Just my opinion
