The one I'm in now has outlived everything else including the shanty town style post-war buildings lying empty round the corner

Its not nearly dense enough with buildings, theres too much open area. The high rises should have been built with maybe 10 floor tall buildings alongside, more what there is built at Cowcaddens. I suppose its not too late for a second redevelopment to get rid of the annoying wee blocks, that totally do not suit the high rises they are build with
WTF?!? I live in those "annoying wee blocks" - just knock doon my house and
build some more fukkin towerblocks, eh?
"too much open area" - ??? Dear Green Place, eh?
