Agree , Paddyann my maternal grandparents were very lucky and moved from Glasgow to a new scheme in the late 30s .
The lived in what was called a two apartment house.
It was wonderful, front a back green ( garden) and internal bathroom.
My gran lived there until she was 90 .
All their 4 children were born in the house and I lived there for the few years after I was born, as my father was working overseas.
Still has a big place in my heart.
My father was brought up in a Tenement ( until it was bombed)
He said he has only good memories hard-times, but the families all in same boat .
Communities came together and helped each other.
Always in and out of each others homes . Children outside playing kick the can etc
As a child I often visited with my grandparents friends and relatives and I can confirm that the insides of the Tenements are lovely, high ceilings and big windows.
The saddest places as Paddyanne says, are what was then 'new build estates' completely soulless with no communities or amenities.
I had a relative that volunteered in one such area, to help with computer literacy.
She sourced and provided donated computers.
Unfortunately she was up against drug and alcohol culture.
