Scott Gallant Exactly.We made that mistake before in postwar Britain. Why can’t we see it again now. I mean, certain these houses are better than the ugly bungalows and council flats that were made back then, but these buildings here are still uniform and soulless.

At least there is one good thing from these new places, and that is that they are not putting up hundreds of bloody streetlamps to shine through peoples windows while they are trying to sleep at night. Plus confusing a lot of the more nocturnal animals that are more common in the rural areas. They used to do that a lot in the old council estates and now it seems they are at least learning from that.

There is no way in hell I’m going to buy one of these new build houses. Even more so if it doesn’t at least have a decent sized garden. I don’t live in the city thankfully so most likely I’ll be able to find a better house around where I live in the countryside. I don’t care if it’s far away from one of the cities. I can damn well live with that if it means I get a better quality of life.

It’s such absolute hypocrisy.

Nick X I couldn’t have put it better myself.

These houses are certainly better than the old ugly ones of the past dozen decades at the end of the 20th century. But these are still just box houses that will inevitably just end up being the same. We are dooming ourselves to repeat the same mistakes all over again. Building more houses isn’t the answer. Cutting our population and developing the ugly old houses we already had is. We need to take all the ugly old buildings that were built in postwar Britain and improve them. Either to make them more acceptable for new housebuyers or combine them with the traditional construction and aesthetic‘s of England’s past that make them so iconic and loved by people in this country and around the world. Only then can the future of Britain continue to be great.
