Most of the house building I've seen happening around where I live in Scotland, has been on brown field sites.

My own house was built in 1885 and is a terraced cottage in an old coal mining town where mining stopped decades ago.

You, are actually advocating I forego this for a pod/apartment in some shitty city somewhere. Have you seen Glasgow or Edinburgh? They're literal shitholes.

Disingenuous people try to paint a picture that their pod living /isn't/ being trapped in a city. Which is simply a lie. These people are advocating for the WEF "you will own nothing, and you'll be happy" dystopia.

To which I say "No."



As someone who's lived in Edinburgh, it's hard to take this seriously. Also, living there, you have access to beautiful nature in relatively little time.


A someone who continuously lives between Edinburgh and Glasgow, yer talking oot yer arse.

Edinburgh is one of those places where it's a "nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there" - i.e. it has some tourist spots - and is getting worse due to lack of infrastructure maintenance let alone building new infrastructure. Glasgow has been turned into a literal shithole. Both thanks to 15 years of a Nationalist Socialist administration hell-bent on nothing but breaking up the UK therefore cares nothing for the people it governs and is one of the most corrupt governments in Western civilisation.
