The Woodberry estate was a terrible place.

What do the people who have moved on think? Is there any resources that give a balanced view of what they think, e.g. has it worked out for them?

This has nothing to do with the housing shortage, although the arguments of reduced affordability is true.

However, I think you have actually been on Woodberry Down estate before the rebuild. You would have seen that it was a massive shithole. Decaying concrete blocks, poor sightlines, terrible public space. You wrote a much more balanced picture of this (and the mixed feelings the current residents have) in your February 2012 piece for eastlondonlines.
