Fuck view corridors, for me that's up there with nimbys who complain about wind farms ruining their view.
It's a fucking city, there are buildings, there are new buildings which block the views to those buildings. whatever.
Is being able to see some building from somewhere else really that important on the grand scale of things?
I say that as someone who used to be able to see the Olympic park from my flat up until 6 months ago, when a new block was built in the way. Oh well, I'll just look at something else then
And regarding black cabs, I couldn't care less if they were replaced. Sure, keep a few for the tourists, like the routemasters, but the focus should be on the most energy efficient and environmentally friendly taxi, best suited to the job. If that's the black cab, or a future iteration of it, then fine.
