Maybe all that grey concrete calms people down, like the white of a padded cell.

It's funny how the English turn their noses up at other towns and cities (and often their own too), yet I find the places that tend to be the most aloof - like London and Manchester - are the places I'd least like to live.

 

People who rave about them ask you to ignore the evidence of your eyes and ears at every step.

London is a nice enough place to visit and that is how it seems to be designed,for visitors,but I too wouldn't (nor couldn't afford to) live there. Most people even seem to commute there and live outside the actual City and in all those housing estates and small towns melded into Greater London. Like Manchester,it must have stolen it's surrounds so as to become bigger.

it is a bit like that.  Though those up and coming areas usually do up and come.  The net effect is that the working classes are increasingly pushed out to the areas that no-one wants to live (yet).  But places like Brixton, Peckham, Streatham etc are being gentrified beyond recognition and those that are not living in council blocks are being chased out.  Soon enough, the councils will be made a. Offer they can’t refuse to sell the blocks for demolition and redevelopment, with tenants being moved further into the Kent and Essex badlands
