Developers are’nt daft….the give the punters what they want.

You make it very hard to reply to that without sounding like a snob but i don’t think what joe punter wants is whats best in the long run and he most likely doesn’t know the alternative. There are alternatives so why should we accept those without any vision or imagination be let create our environment. (i’m not expecting a detailed answer on why.)
Also on your point of its what happens everywhere else, it happened everywhere else, leessons were learned, but no, we’ll go ahead and see how it works out ourselves thanks.
Stiras last point,…. to quote someone elses take on De Veleras dream of “a chicken in every pot”, well now its “a house in every field”.
