My thoughts on Urban development…
I don’t have a problem with higher density urban development, as long as it’s done thoughtfully.
The first photo is of what we called blocks of flats, back in the 60s when these were built.
The second is of a building which looked the same, but was refurbished & had another storey added. Two apartments at the front have their own garage. The rest have a carport in the driveway down the side, & some at the back, open to the lane. A lot of the older flats could have another storey added. The fact that these buildings nearly all have done shared garden space out front is nice too. Solar should be mandatory for all rebuilds & major rennos.
The third is the view of the refurbished building from our backyard. Oversight isn’t a problem.
