Good God, were people actually expected to live in those prison blocks? Even with the City Council involved, the new housing must be an improvement.

They were seen as an answer to all our ills, Lex.

Unfortunately, much was already known (but ignored), and reality came to fruition.

There's a housing estate near where I grew up that was also supposed to be the answer; it too failed miserably.

I admit to quite liking brutalist architecture, but I certainly wouldn't want to live in blocks like that.
