Comment	And are they private builds or government funded? I'm struggling to find the new build online you dont happen to know the name of the contracted builders do you? I'm hesitant to point at old projects and say they are bad because they don't meet our current goals/targets etc which is why I'm more interested in the new build. The new development just north of the M8 is taking modern practices in to account with open spaces, walkimg and cycle routes etc. I get your point about the Paisley one (although can't fimd details) but if it is walking distance to the train station I'd say that is okay. Yes a single family detached houses are less efficient than stacking 6 families in the same space but I don't think that only building flats/tenements is the solutuon there. I have definitely come off as contrary here becuse I want a house with a driveway and front/back gardens etc. I want solar and wind generation, big battery to store, EV and charger etc. Basically wanting energy independence. To do all of that in a shared social space would get contentious. Moreover, I've lived in a flat all bar about 5 years of my life and I'm just sick of having neighbours above and below. I lived above a shop for years it was murder, their fridge compressors may or may not have driven me to vandalism after a year of shit sleep and nothing being done etc. So I am a bit jaded when it comes to living in close quarters, not that I'm against it.
