    That is some carzy sh1t, right there. Needless to say, I wouldn't agree with that in any way.

    Just a couple of days ago I stopped along a road near me to have a chat with a young woman to compliment her on the amazing job she and her husband had done in buying doing up an old cottage and transforming it into something modern and sleek, where they expanded the available living area considerably by building a slightly larger, complimentary structure next to the transformed original.

    Times change, faimilys change, society changes and buildings often need to change to better fit the era.

    That's fine for a one off but not a house in a housing estate that was well designed originally but becomes a hotch potch over time.

    again, the chances of it actually being well designed are next to nil to be perfectly honest

    There's no Borg estates in this country where all houses are maintained to the same standard.

    That's a pipe dream.
    .you should be happy new people are taking pride in their property rather than the borg houses aging and looking nothing like when they went up

    The couple had tried to argue that a tree had been there or something, but it didn't matter, whatever their argument was.

    Very illuminating.

    Finding a housing estate that was well designed is going to be a hard search in Ireland.

    That's the law of the universe, everything breaks down, it's entropy.
