Re: Re: Welcome to Ireland’s ugly urban sprawl

Regarding London, it is not a compact city in the way Amsterdam or Cophenhagen are, and has some terrible sprawl in the outer parts – no thanks to Thatcher & her mindless promotion of a car-borne society in the 80s – but most of it is still a helluva lot more compact than Dublin is now.

I think the most awful thing about Ireland is the way we gone for – much moreso than the British – American values, not just in the environment but in everything – just look at that new ryan turbidy chat show…the opening & sets are straight from Letterman or Leno! I think it’s outrageous that we feel we have to do this.
