Green spaces are fine but can we have back the rivers that were blue or red depending on which dyes were being used.

I always thought Manchester and the greater manchester towns have never took advantage of their rivers potential for leisure, retail and bars being built along side them.

As do I. London’s looked after me professionally like no other. I’ve earned good money for years and my house has skyrocketed in value. It took me a year to get a permanent job in my last stint in Manchester and it turned out to be for an awful firm.

Fortunately I live in the suburbs outside London and it's great, just not a fan of the City, it lacks identity for me, can't get on with the place ...
 
When all these ghastly glass dodgy foreign money deposit boxes disguised as “luxury apartments” are finished, the reptilian Leese should be banned from ever setting foot inside our city again.

Manchester shield have done a great job of exposing what’s happened behind the scenes but it got too much for Adam in the end. Below is one of his last videos recorded before he left the city, it’s well worth a watch. (Whole thing worth a watch but nail on the head moments from 10.30 onwards)

You can find your niche easily enough. I drink in Bethnal Green and Whitechapel sometimes. I avoid the West End and the tourist traps of Camden.

I’ve always found it so bizarre that you can be utterly alone in a city populated by seven million people.

Agreed, I go out in Whitechapel now n then also Peckham Rye but in the main I stick to stuff closer to home .... Know what you mean about being alone in London, it's weird :-)

Dodgy glass!! They are fantastic buildings! And offering incredible amenity. A lot are for rent!

Really? What’s fantastic about Deansgate square? Look at some of the buildings going up in our nations capital in comparison.

Has anybody else managed to build at such scale and quality in a provisional city before? The general perception is that they look amazing. The building as you look down deansgate looks absolutely fantastic.

Nah deansgate looks a mess looking up it both ways
 
I don't mind new buildings as long as they are not at the expense of Manchesters heritage and soul, betham was awful to many when it went up but as a solo building stands out and so looks good as time has gone on, with more going up around it though the place loses it's identity and becomes another faceless metropolis.

And as biffa cannot even keep the streets clean, whats the point of a shiney skyline if the surface is neglected.

A city, I believe the only one in the world where the 'hire a bike' scheme ended up being discontinued due to them being nicked or chucked in canals shows what state we're in.

Manchester used to be about people & coming together not how tall the next building is.

I think it’s always been a bit rough and full of crime.
