Good post.
Personally I have always thought the whole "sink estate" thing was a bit of a red hearing. How come the Barbican, built on similar architectural lines as other estates, never became a sink estate?
Obviously, I do think that bad architecture can exacerbate existing problems, but I can't believe that it's not a variety of social and economic issues that's the real cause.
