Yeah, I never understood the obsession with low quality housing in the UK. It's like the Cubans and their cars but without the actual shortage.
It's some kind of weird poverty chic.
Because new builds have an equal level of build quality, and the really shit ones haven't fallen down yet?
At least the older houses have been stood for 100 years.
forget about socio economics of gentrification but this video kinda nails why I hate victorian/1930s/old as shit houses:
