There were still people in the pit villages and in the industrial suburbs back then. Now social housing is being demolished wholesale.
Sounds somewhat "post-apocalyptic" to me.

I don't think you can expect to have a good future in our country on whatever other issue, given that we have denied it to other nations and ruined so many lives.
Our nation must make any amends that we can, if only for purely selfish motive that you don't want your own country to go down the toilet.

Did you ever see a documentary film entitled 'The Corporation'?
It examined the legal entity that is a 'Corporation', noting that in law, a corporation is seen and treated as if it were a single person (albeit a pretty well off one
) and afforded the same rights under law.Then they said, 'OK, if a corporation is a 'person', what sort of person is it?'
So they get in a bunch of psychologists and psychiatrists to 'analyse' the 'Corporation' and create some sort of 'personality profile'.
They concluded that it was the sort of person you're talking about above; a twisted, disfunctional, raging psychopath and a total menace to society.
Now - here's a thing. I know people who work within Corporations. They themselves are not really psychopaths. Some of them are wankers, I'll grant you, but on the whole you wouldn't really call them psychopaths or feel they should be locked up.
OK, so many people in 'business' are no angels, but as VP pointed out above, the Management of a Corporation is legally obliged to 'act in the best interests of the shareholders' (many of whom are other 'Corporate Entities').
For that reason, you could put Mother Teresa in charge of a Corporation and it would be no different.
It's a systemic fault.
Housing for me in the UK, especially the SouthEast. It is getting very difficult to afford to start a family, unless you are earning big money. Not surprising the birth rates are so low!
This rings true with me.ViolentPanda said:
Each time I return to the UK, I notice increased levels of dilapidation & desolation. The small town where I grew up is almost lifeless now everyone shops out-of-town at Tesco. The small shops and family businesses have been replaced by estate agents and offices. Only the chippy and offy remain and customers need nerves of steel after dark, when the high street becomes a swarming ground for gangs of feral youths. When they aren't smashing things up or fighting each other, they intimidate passers by for sport. Pubs have closed - presumably because beer is such a ridiculous price now and people prefer to drink in the safety of their own homes. As per Thatcher's prophecy, there is now no such thing as community.
I don't know whether the dilapidation and decay just isn't noticed because it happens a bit at a time (it is very noticeable to me). No-one seems to care any more.

Promoting the use of condoms for those that can't/won't/don't buy them has a positive effect on the general health of the populous.
If you don't use a tammy, the worst that happens is a pair of manky keks.
I refuse to have my tax $$$ pay for your sanitary products!

Globally, war, imperialism, and certainaly global warming,
domestically, the dismantling of the welfare state and the near silence/lack of oppostion from 'liberals', the left, including the coming massive cuts in disability welfare, pensioner poverty makes me very angry as does the crisis in social care, the new rentier class, and its repercussions for housing, etc, the consequences of mass immigration, the NHS, i could go on....
oh, and the crisis in representative democracy which is facilating all this

Such a blithe assumption to make, that "no-one wants to live in it".
The problem is that every area where this has happened has had a core of residents who've wanted to continue living in the community they may have often spent their life in. In some places whole generations of family history have taken place in the same house. That's why the whole "Pathfinder" scheme has received such opprobrium from communities: It destroys what it claims to be protecting.
