Do we all see things differently even though we live in the same area?

What others see. Lovely local owned shops . Nice cafes with eating areas outside. Lovely parks and green spaces.

What i see. Expensive local owned shops that many people cant afford. Cafes with areas to eat outside with heavy trucks bin carts cars and pumping out fumes into your meal. I mean they look lovely but that puts me off.

Drug users and drinkers all over the place.

I can switch off and also see what others see. Is that wgat others do just ignore the bad bits and talk about just the nice bits . Ot do they not see it at all?

If by drug users and drinkers you mean the people in the cafes and shops are trollied and off their tits, yes that is obvious and can't look past it. There's always a market for nice cafes and shops, even if some can't afford them, others can. I'd rather go to a countryside tearoom than a high street outdoor seating cafe, but I don't really care about fumes from traffic for half an hour. We probbaly get more from sitting in traffic in our cars.
