| Comment | I really don't get it either. When I was younger we all hated the tenements and closes and couldn't wait for the council to rip them all down and give us nice modern houses. At that time tenements were damp, cold, noisy. I also get what you say about some of these streets coming off as gloomy.
But, something has flipped since then and now living in a tenement is trendy. Attitudes towards them have completely changed, particularly with younger age groups. If a proposal ever comes along to knock a block of sandstone down then a conservation group will pop up and soy lattés will be spilled. |
