Londons skyline set to change

As a young lad who often traveled through London as a kid I found high rise buildings fascinating and dreamed of one day living in one. As an adult having worked in many of them, there is nothing about them I find even remotely attractive. Would I prefer my £250k semi detached house, with trees, birds, foxes, squirrels and other wildlife and neighbours that talk to you? To living up in the air in a million pound pad, with plasterboard walls, no wildlife, no trees, restricted car parking, neighbours that just grunt at you when passing and views of other piles of concrete? I know where I'd rather be....

Quite like the prospect of the changes and yes they look good but wouldn't like to live anywhere near London - just far to much traffic.

Living some 20/25 miles south of Birmingham albeit in the built up area of Redditch, traffic is much lighter and there is still plenty of green space - in fact there is a huge field behind my house, where my cat spends her days mousing & catching pigeons!
