The general price hike is enough that you wouldn't be able to afford living in the area anymore, to be honest. Standard homes are still getting scrapped for expensive high rises even now, and the locals don't really get a say in it despite the price of life

@@speedbird737 By my reckoning £105k in the 1980's would be approx £360k in today's money (with inflation). I grew up in Greenwich in the 80's and loved watching the Docklands development emerge from the old dock.

Gosh, build your own Houses for 45K back in 88, much better than 120K that was down the road. Well done to the community at the time for getting together to resolve their issues. I wonder f they are still there or have moved on, all them years.

I remember the 'we want jobs not snobs' spray painted on some buildings when I moved into Anchorage Point (next to Cascades) early 1990s- fantastic place to live and amazing views of Canary Wharf and the Thames - the locals prospered too when their house values tripled / quadrupled. You could see Windsor from the top of Canary Wharf on a clear day.

I first read about the rapid changes going on in a winter 1986-87 piece in Time Out magazine titled "London's new goldrush - greed and grief in the capital's docklands". Long-established local tenants were being forced out into "hard-to-let" accomodation in neighbouring boroughs,to make way for the affluent newcomers and developments.

Michael Honey from the LDDC alongside Reg Ward made sure they only looked after themselves. it wasn't so much that some areas needed developing and there was much argument that it should be done, but the way they treated existing commercial tenants was deplorable. I am sure many brown envelopes found their way into pockets from developers.

@@pauldonnelly3179 no such thing as woke activism. There's just activism. And how does it make money, besides the occasional corporate interest in commercialising social change? That's always going to happen. Just because you decide to be accepting and think a bit more about others, doesn't mean that using pronouns is a prerequisite for driving a Porsche.
