I know that some think that the solution to our current gridlock is to
build up the cities and have everyone jammed into shoe boxes next to
their place of work. But is this idea just a way to bring back the
slums we've had to get rid off in the past?

"New homes in England are being built smaller than almost anywhere
else in Europe, a new exhibition reveals. Are the gleaming new
apartment buildings of the past decade the inner-city slums of
tomorrow?"
I'm sure Tommy is on pint number 7 or 8 by now so probably no reply
from him.
And Doug hates it when I point out a flaw in his master race... sorry
I mean master plan.
Anyone else have a view? Shoebox in the city or space in the burbs or
country?

But then you would suffer Doug, as you've been told before.
You still have said whether or not you would be happy to live next to a
transport yard.
