In this task, you are given an article. Your task is to summarize the article in a sentence.

First, it shows that building houses is more profitable than building shops - at least in some parts of the UK.
And second, that controversial supermarket "land banking" (buying up swathes of land for potential retail development) has largely run its course.
It is likely that other supermarkets will follow suit, releasing land for housing and smaller retail developments.
Which could be good news for a government keen to see lots more houses built.
I asked Alan Stewart, Tesco's chief financial officer, how many houses could be built.
"It certainly will be thousands, I think it will depend on council by council, site by site exactly what the development turns out to be," he said.
Sources close to the business tell me that as many as 10,000 homes could be built on the sites Tesco has just sold, from Bath to London and the south-east of England.
"These sites were all bought because we intended to put a store [in] and then develop residential around them," Mr Stewart told the BBC.
"We wanted to ensure that we would work with the communities and the council in order to develop and build housing and the other projects as quickly as possible and in a way that is sympathetic to the community."
The 14 sites sold are just a small part of the 49 projects Tesco announced earlier in the year it was abandoning.
The others remain largely unsold and derelict, leading to criticisms from local MPs such as Pat McFadden, MP for Wolverhampton South East, who said the local community felt let down.
I asked Mr Stewart if he had sympathy with the critics.
"Of course, and I think it's in these sort of sites and these communities [that] it's very difficult.
"These were difficult decisions we made [to abandon the developments].
"They weren't made without a lot of contemplation, a lot of thought and we'll do everything we can to try to get the developments that were expected in these areas, developed as quickly as possible.
As quickly as possible, yes, but Mr Stewart knows that selling lucrative sites in the south-east of England is somewhat easier than more marginal sites across the north of England, for example.
As yet, there is still no timeline for selling the rest of the sites, which for the moment will remain padlocked and unused.
This morning's announcement that Tesco is selling 14 former supermarket sites to a property developer is significant for two reasons.

The council is considering a programme of repairs and replacements, including temporary crossings for crucial areas.
In addition, 40 roads are still shut due to damage to the carriageway or because of bridge closures.
However, the communities of Patterdale and Glenridding are no longer cut off after temporary repairs to the A592.
Six of the closed bridges - which include important crossings in Carlisle, Penrith, and Cockermouth - are awaiting underwater inspections, which are being hampered by river levels and the speed of flow.
Hundreds of homes and businesses in the county were hit by devastating flooding following record levels of rainfall during the weekend of 5 December.
Keith Little, county council cabinet member for highways and infrastructure, said: "There is a massive amount of work to do to get the network fully open and we are working flat out to get that work done.
"We absolutely understand the impact of this disruption to the public and businesses and it is an absolute priority in the county's recovery work."
Twenty-two bridges in Cumbria remain closed after flooding caused by Storm Desmond, as engineers assess all 1,600 in the county for potential damage.

Reece Lyne and Jacob Miller tries had Wakefield 12-2 up at the break, but Ben Murdoch-Masila, Kris Welham and Greg Johnson scores turned the game around.
George Griffin's try looked to have secured the points but Bill Tupou crossed to keep Trinity in the game.
Lyne squeezed in to level, and Williams stayed cool to kick the winning points.
Wakefield ended a run of 12 games without a win against St Helens last time out and showed the character to revive this game when it looked as though Salford had finished them off.
Lyne celebrated his new two-year contract with his finishes, both well taken out wide, but a late injury to him could rule him out for some time while the guile of Williams was matched by his kicking and that proved crucial.
The visitors, who beat Warrington impressively last week, could have retaken the lead and settled the game with the last play but Murdoch-Masila was unable to retain his grasp on the ball over the line.
Wakefield head coach Chris Chester: "I thought we'd won it and thrown it away. It's a great win for us but we got out of jail. It shows the character and belief that we can come back and get a result when we looked like we weren't going to get anything from the game.
"I'm happy for the fans because it's the first time we've won at home since we beat Warrington here last May. I'm pleased we've been able to send those people home happy.
"We don't know exactly what Reece Lyne has done but it looks like a nasty knee injury. It's disappointing for Reece but it gives an opportunity to Joe Arundel next week."
Salford head coach Ian Watson on Mudoch-Masila's spill in the last moments: "At full speed it looks like he has dropped it but a Sky camera might tell you different because you've seen them given before.
"It's probably a case for having Sky cameras at every game but there's obviously a cost to the RFL. To be fair we should have drawn the winger and passed to Kris Welham who would have probably scored in the corner.
"It's a tough loss for us but it's a lesson we've got to learn. You can't question the players' desire, it was a bit of smartness that let us down, especially in the first half."
