Housing Mistakes

[az_gila]

I am not talking about newspaper reports or drawing generalised conclusions from one-off emails from unknown sources. CO2 may be natural but the levels of it are not. I used to work in Central London - a three hour round trip from home on the South Downs every day. It was the sh*ts.

I make no claims for 'proven science' although the consensus is somewhat more robust.

However... I didn't want to leave you unanswered, hence my earlier long reply, the meanwhile bringing it back to talking about housing, urbanism and urban planning.

But to try again to bring it back on topic, you might want to look at the crime levels in the Boot Estate/Speke/Croxteth Hall Park areas before drawing any conclusions about city centre living in Liverpool. The lack of opportunity and facilities in these areas has been a major housing mistake in this city (and others in the UK).



Housing or living in the city centre has a number of issues - mostly related to inappropriate mix or proximity of uses (apartments over/next to night clubs).


....

I think the s**ts for your commute was more related to CO (carbon monoxide) and diesel exhaust particulates than actual CO2 - which makes plants grow...

You are correct, I don't have any crime statistics for Liverpool city center... Are they available as a crime per 1000 population?

And a follow-up Q.
How populated is the city center at this time with actual residents, not tourists in hotels? And how will ths increase with Liverpool Waters?

As has been mentioned here before, the giant block living built in the 60's was not particularly sucessful.

I assume that the city apartments will be rated as "desirable" and will be populated by the upper income group of scousers... is this correct?
Also, is there any plan in the Liverpool Waters, or equivalent, projects to provide lower cost housing for the poorer scousers?

Will these projects "yuppify" the city center, and is that what the city really wants?

I guess I brought it mostly back on topic...
