Why are those in charge so determined to ruin my old home town one way and another?   |
[rant] Not everyone wants to live in a terraced house with high ceilings costing a fortune to heat with front doors straight onto the footpath so dirty dogs pee on your door step. People walking inches from your front room window peering in while you watch corrie. No where to park your car and no garden for the kids to play.
Many people want modern new housing with garden space and off road parking. Cul-de-sac's so the only cars being those that live there so the kids are safer with no boy racers screaming down the street taking short cuts.
We live in a terraced house but it is a good size with a garden, garage and (very) short drive. We bought it because we like it but we would not live in a non garden fronted again unless we had to because we dont like them.
If those that have commented about the destruction of our old houses love them so much then fine you live in them but dont moan about those that dont like them its there choice and that is what the builders are offering, a choice of housing. [/rant]
