Re: Re: Government-by-numbers

I cannot help thinking of Germany in 2003 when we visited the in-laws in a village outside a satellite town (Zirndorf) of Nuremberg….. it was so neatly done, despite most of the houses being less that 30 years old, that it felt like a traditional village without being traditional houses – and there was no “leakage” of the town or village into the surrounding landscape, I walked between them (20 minute walk) and one ended, there was farming lanbd, and the next one started. In Ireland, it would have been bungalows all the way between them
