What you wanna know for...? I've been watching videos on London's history and how the city developed over centuries. I've been really interested in the Docklands lately. I remember you told me once what part you lived in but I forgot and can't find the post. No real reason.

Monkey makes me think of a bass player in some music video from the 70s with the fog machine going. Or is it smoke machine??

ayatollah, this thread bothers me because you didn't spell his name correctly.

I remember you told me once what part you lived in but I forgot and can't find the post. No real reason. I'm from Bermondsey, used to be a big dock area but was already starting to die in the 1960's when I was nipper. All been redeveloped into posh homes for the affluent these days as gentrification spreads and the people that made these areas so lively are forced out by property prices and replaced by those looking for quick profits. They were great days for communities but like all major cities once the money men move in the whole nature of an area changes.

Local Government should only grant planning permission for new development if a third is allocated to social rents, there are supposed to be measures in place to help towards that but they usually get ignored once the developers start applying pressure and they get watered down to just a couple of properties per development. The system can work fairly and developers can make big profits, it's just greed that drives them to push for even more profits than they initially agreed on.

If it is rent control that stuff doesn't work, it creates shortages and the problem gets worse. People shouldn't be railroaded into renting anyway, it's a way for a landlord class to extract wealth from working people. Any solution should be focused on owner-occupied homes. The money you spend on the mortgage goes toward something you can eventually own, not into someone else's pocket.

It means shit people. I had that when I lived in Islington. One side of the road was nice with civilised people. The other was full of council rent types who dealt drugs and made noise and left their shit on the pavement. They are uncaring scum and fuck this stupid idea of mixing such people in with decent people.
