Not sure where you're living, but there are plenty of tower blocks going up in London, it's just they are called luxury apartments..

My gut feeling is that most people would say they wouldn't bring up a child or try to start a family living in a block.

I hear "you can't raise a child in a flat" all the time. Obviously it's total middle class bullshit, but it's a common opinion.

generally from people who grew up outside of big cities.
People can and do raise children in flats/tower blocks all the time.
as @Stonehedge says the prejudice generally comes from those who feel their progeny need a garden..

You're clearly a country boy, I was brought up in central London in cramped private rentals then council housing, last place was a tower block in Westminster... It was great...
