You could be living anywhere on this planet. Why live here if you believe it to be a "shithole"? You can love somewhere and want to live there and still accept that it is actually a shithole compared to what it should because the people who run it are incompetent. The fact that the island has so much potential and yet they screw everything up makes it even more painful. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been like this for nearly twenty years, as has the Villiers site and the Lord Street/Middlemarch fiasco. This is not to mention our shabby shopping area and the various gaps along the promenade and the future demolishing of Lord Street Flats by Dandara, who will doubtless sit on the bombsite they create for another twenty odd years! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure. Most of the former shopping area could just be grassed over or left to re-wild. Let's be honest: We don't really need most of it anymore. But nature will take it back sooner or later anyhow - so not really a big issue, right? Edited October 30, 2021 by pongo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid we'll be waiting a long time for nature to improve large swathes of Douglas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
