so it got worse. A lot.
Knobbish parking on the left there
Horrible
Bladerunnerisation is real.
Hence Manchester being the only British city beside London actually growing.
The population of Greater Manchester grew over 400,000 between those years. Where did you think they were going to live?
Everywhere looks like mid town America these days.
Wild how it’s gone from scruffy but characterful to dense and kinda generic so fast. If it bums you out, exploring the canals and backstreets still feels more “old” Manchester.
Please tell me what’s the problem with apartment buildings
Where have all the street lamps gone? Seriously though, what’s lighting that street at night?
And the pedestrian/cyclist spaces look just tragic in that photo.
Would it have killed them to you know make the street wider before adding 1000’s of people
The amount of NIMBYs comments here is insane.
And already cars illegally parking on the sidewalk, aww
Amazing to watch. But so many people I know will look at the above and start whining about „nasty towers“ and „we don’t want to be like London.“ I’m like….I hate to say this, but London and Manchester are among the few parts of the UK that are actually doing well. Much of the North only has public services because London is paying for them.
Would’ve been nice to throw a cycle lane in there. Instead they allow pavement parking…
No longer a „Dirty Old Town“ it seems.
