I often suspect that the left wing defenders of these miserable public housing projects grew up in affluent suburban areas and have no idea how bad these places where too live, and this occurs right across the western world.
It often seems like a love affair with the idea that large scale housing must be delivered with the idea that no developers can possibly ever be allowed to make a cent of profit on building housing.
