Not surprising. One place my family lived the corn field across the street was sold and turned into a housing settlement. Some of my brothers went over after hours to check out the progress and etc. They returned with horror tales of the scandalous happenings, yet the community thus sprung up seemed fine once all was built. One would wonder why it\'s so pricey to live in a pretty trash heap, but perhaps that\'s the answer: it\'s an artistic trash pile. Charming and excellently rendered with lovely imagery in your characteristic style and sense of humor, the painful poignancy haunting. Thank you for sharing.

Lost Central Park - NYC
Tristan Robert Lange said:
A wonderful write Dave. I have been in and through Central Park many times, including to see summer concerts held there. Its certainly easy to get lost in...in probably every sense of the word. LOL! Glad you shared this with me as I could certainly see the park through your words. Well done!

I have never lived in a high rise, but I have been at the top of one laying down steel for a roof. As close to high rise living as I want to get! Well done in painting the reality versus the BS, and of course, the cost that comes with city living. I live close to NYC, and that is certainly no cheap city to live in. Well done, my friend! 🌹👏

Cramped spaces pouring increasing populations. Gross is great government says, but then they harvest the taxes of the masses. Overbill don’t worry about water supply or traffic. That’ll take care of itself after they are out of office. Poignant poem, Dave.

Lived there for 7 years! Another 6 in Tokyo. Same deal. Reminds me of tenements, council estate and ghetto living. HongKong was totally on another level as I suspect Sao Paolo is. But we do e eventually find our community.yes, it is about the place but another look reminds us that it’s more about those we surround ourselves with. No judgments just observations.

High rise flats. A bloomin curse and where I live they are going up everywhere. Houses being knocked down to be replaced by monsters. We have a massive housing shortage exasperated by exploding population and uncontrolled immigration and governments that have done sodall about it. Homes have soared to unaffordable levels and the future is bleak for young people. This is turning into a rant ain’t it? I better stop there, but you get my drift Dave? I’m sure you do. And don’t get me going on the subject of councils not repairing social housing. That’s there too. Happy days.

Good words Dave, many years ago I worked for a council and we had three high rise blocks of flats, they eventually decided to bring one down and the one they chose all the people were happy in it and had a wonderful cameraderie within it, there was another one they could have blown up with all the people in it and people would have cheered.

You just rammed home the fact that 1) the grass is not always greener on the other side 2) not to believe everything in the glossy brochures, on tv .. advertising etc etc 3) the rich get richer often on the back of the less well off gullibility, misery and expense 4) not much is fair when it comes to making big money .. 5) shoddy workmanship is the kitemark of the 21st century 6) and lots of other things besides I could go on, but 7) duty calls .. N🐧🖤👍

Nothing like losing manpower, eh? Electricity has me wary thanks to all the devices I\'ve suffered the loss of years ago, leaving me stranded for the loss of the same until I love it, but remain wary. Lovely tribute to the latest in electronic victories, rendered winsomely in your style with excellent imagery. Thank you for sharing.

As far as I am concerned these horrible inventions are a pain in the ar*se. Wouldn’t be on the road at all if it was up to me. Anyways they should all pay road tax and have insurance cover and of course they don’t. Also I keep hearing alot about batteries causing fires. There seem to be a hell of a lot of them recently. Greetings Dave the Dawg.
