Out of three of that height or higher discussed/planned in our town though, I think this one is likely to cause the least objection, since there is already a 10-storey building and several 7-or-so in that neighbourhood. (What I really hope they won't go through with is a suggestion to add several more storeys on top of an existing building right in the town centre.) <br /><br />I think there is a certain difference in British vs Swedish 'traditional' housing, but we too have a lot of boring suburban areas from the 60s which few people prefer if they can find an affordable alternative. <br /><br />Doubt the new ones being built now being affordable to most though. The rent for those built across the road from the supermarket will be about 150% compared to where I live. (Cheaper for me to stay where I am and take a taxi home with my groceries...)DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-82266602508321875162012-04-02T10:16:57.140+02:002012-04-02T10:16:57.140+02:00Your quotation from Ecclesiastes has to be one of ...Your quotation from Ecclesiastes has to be one of my favourite Biblical quotations.

Perhaps that's a UK dislike because all the 1960s multi-storey flats that haven't already been demolished years ago are gradually getting pulled down. People never liked living in them. Personally I would rather live in a garden shed than in one.GBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10289400344300258872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4609118120551505936.post-30263835180605305402012-04-01T17:11:17.044+02:002012-04-01T17:11:17.044+02:00Funny how things turn out well.
