Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

It's impossible to build beautiful when houses are crammed into every inch of space. I utterly lament any modern housing estate where the houses have a foot wide garden at the front that leads straight onto the pavements. Let alone the ghoulish postage stamp back gardens with no privacy.

Space is needed for beauty. A tree needs space to grow. The closest we seem to get now is the sustainable urban drainage system (suds). As suds are a green area with a path built around them.

I literally don't want to move from where I am as the estate was built with passageways between the streets, with large breaks of green space between blocks of housing and mature trees to boot.

So you want to bring in unlimited migrants and not build high density housing? Good luck with that bruv.
