Why are there so many colourful houses in Bristol?
I really wish they'd do this everywhere. In the town I live in there are a lot of houses and shops that are just exceptionally grim to look at. Everything is dilapidated, rotting, grey and pebbledashed. I can't help but think that, even if it's not fixing the root causes of why everything is shit, it would at least make things a bit less miserable and maybe give people a bit of joy and pride again for a pretty low cost. I'm pretty sure they did this exact same thing in a favela or slum somewhere and most of the residents agreed that it substantially improved life in the neighbourhood.
