High Density Housing

[muddy]

It seems to be the government policy to build high density housing .
Blocks of flats going up let right and centre .
It's sad that people have to live like this especially families with children .
Where do they play and even at home they mustn't make too much noise .
Children should have a garden to play in .

Also other people may be annoyed by people above below and to the side of them .
A bad neighbour is bad everywhere but must be worse in a flat .

Yet it would seem inevitable that at some point I will end up in a flat as so many old people do especially when they are left alone .
Would rather live in a little house with some outdoor space .
Although a pent house flat with a terrace for pots  sounds OK
But AFAIK flats in the U.K. seem to have tiny balconies if any and no storage for people so they stuff everything on the balconies .
Why don't they build nice ones?

At the moment live in a bungalow with large garden ( by the standards of today not by mine )
But at least quiet and away from the maddin crowd .

I could never live in a block of flats if I could help it.   I know I couldn't live with constant noise,  like people who play loud music,  loud TV,  noisy party's,  kids screaming etc.
 I like my garden, even if it is only a small one,  it's therapeutic -  noise isn't.

I live in a three bed house.. Neighbours are lovely..
I have a shop nearby .. Priory Park .. Earlswood Lakes..
Reigate town.. all within easy reach..
I can manage the garden at the moment.. it is not too big..
BUT I am not stupid in thinking that this will always be the case..
A flat sounds very lonely..
If the residents are all elderly I guess it wouldn't be too much of a problem..
We could all meet up for tea and scones and chat about the war.. 😁
Old age is fine if your brain is still operating.. along with your legs..
If you are lucky you might even meet a nice old gentleman to stroll around with..
