That's a nationwide issue . . . 1920's until 60's we built houses with gardens . . . .big and small . . . . . Thats what everyone needs . . . Even victorian terraces and workers 2 up 2 downs had an outside space.

THat's a very small proportion though. There is little industry, without commuting.

Virtually everyone has to commute.

I’ll admit to working elsewhere …although sometimes Shoreham ..also currently in Southwick ..Lancing…Sompting ..Worthing…Ditchling…Portslade…Hove and Brighton.

We called Emerald quay ( the first high rise in the late 80's) canary wharf when it was built . . .always have done.
