The built environment in London becomes more soulless and deathly by the day. It's had a definite effect on my quality of life. I can't stand it.

People still prefer to live in houses than apartments in England definitely.

Limburger isn't going to post here because he lives in the middle of stunning desert and Sierra where the condors circle the sky. He feels pity for us and will not gloat.

apart from a couple of years in my early teens I have always lived in flats ("apartments" if we are being proper) and I genuinely can't imagine ever buying a house. I've got a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom and bedroom. What else do I need if I'm not going to have a family? Why do I need a flight of stairs that needs vacuumed and cleaned, or a dining room when I'm happy with a ready meal in front of the TV or my laptop? Houses seem so alien to me, I'm all for flats.

I didn't get very far on my walk 'cos it is so grim out, grey, cold, wet, crushing and destructive. I did get either side of the road I like to live on though.
One side - old school derelict, don't see many of these anymore, I'm impressed it's not luxury flats yet.

otherwise the main feature of the streets is the discarded christmas trees, dozens of the bloody things

@IdleRich fun fact until regulations were relaxed in the 70s City buildings were not allowed to be taller than the height of the Fire Service's longest ladder. Spires and cathedrals apart of course.
