    Only you said build Supermarkets, Nobody else.. Must be because you can not give a real arguement for a tower.

    Homes-stirs the mind into families. Only you dont want them in the towers.

    You are sounding more stupid by the minute.

    Go live in a Tower in Watford.

    Deprived of its unique dockland waters Liverpool
    becomes a Venice without canals, just another city, no
    longer of special interest to anyone, least of all the
    tourist. Would we visit a modernised Venice of filled in
    canals to view its modern museum describing
    how it once was?

    The view from my desk in Chicago. Fantastically high. It was very animated at street level as the density was high. A real buzz! Great views.

    No one answered my question YET..."What about the emergency factor???" Does happen you know... a fire, earth quake.., or even someone having a heart attack...(God forbid)....etc Well, like I said.. been in one with an emergency before.. Never again...Not to live anyway... Much rather have a yard and earth beneath my toes... But that is my opinion...

    ...Density factor is right! Ya can't even see sky looking up...from down below in that photo......Maybe, just a line of sky????? Oh my.... Too dense for me..

    I suppose... Each to their own taste ,is the way this thread is going.. And, by right, I think that is what makes the World go round.. different opinions on where one would like to live.. or work..

    A view of another tower window for some sides. They still dont sort out the problem of homes for Liverpool families, you know those people you care nothing for. The people you think are scum.

    The towers are ugly as sin, get over it. Stick some photos on your wall of big towers and knock yourself out.

    You live in Watford, I know...Not Chicago.

    Hi NL

    They can not answer it as it will always be a danger. It is hard enough getting out of a 4 story building never mind one 20 or 30 stories high.

    I would hate to live at the top and realise I needed a pint of milk. It would seem such a mission to get the lift all the way down.

    NL, the safety angle is of course an issue to worry about.

    When I say I like unusual shaped buildings - I wasn't necessarily thinking of dwellings. There could be a mixture of a few apartments, offices, retail establishments, a few restaurants, some doctors, dentists, beauty salons - and some cosmetic surgeons for the afluent yuppies, Ha! whatever. Mainly offices I suppose. I think we have enough apartments now.

    I don't think these type of apartments are aimed at average families with kids.



    What's the problem with Liverpool having a bit of glamour ?? why shouldn't we have it ?? The waterfront is looking fantastic.

    Nowt wrong with Glamour LL.

    are strange shaped towers or high rise towers glamour though? Why not something else.

    God forbid we turn into Benidorm.

    hee, hee, Benidorm looks horrible ! although I havn't been there - but it does look grotesgue from what I've seen of it.
    It's holiday place though.
    We wouldn't want anything as cluttered as that. I do agree with NL aswell about not actually being able to see the sky for skyscrapers. I would never want it to that extent !

    Just a few smart and lovely buildings is fine.

    The view was excellent. Sear Towers and all. Just look up and to the sides. The other windows had some of the 100 year old early skycrapers in view. They were building another building below which was nice to look at.

    Safety? They design that in now. Fireproof materials, no naked flames inside like gas burners, etc.
