That everywhere has got busier?!

[JudesBiggestFan]

I can't decide if it's because I'm older and less patient or whether everywhere is just busier? I find myself frustrated so often...sitting in traffic on the way to work, on the way back, on the school run. Queuing for hours in the barbers to have my sons' haircuts no matter when I go, never being able to find a parking space when I go to to the supermarket/cinema, shops just mad all the time! I live in a decent sized town near Birmingham but then I've always lived here...it just seems so busy! Is there anywhere in the Uk that feels more peaceful that's still hear a big town for work etc?! I feel I would be so much calmer if I was t always in a bloody queue!

I don't think the UK is overcrowded but agree that the infrastructure hasn't kept up with population growth. But it is the same in other developed countries. I have family living outside of New York City and on a recent visit there was so much more traffic and loads of new housing developments, but no new schools, roads, or transport have been built in their town for 15+ years.

Strongly feel that as millenials enter management in the workforce and government there will be more of a drive towards remote working to reduce the demands on roads and public transport at rush hour. In so many office jobs people do not need to sit at their desk 9-5 to get their jobs done and it's a huge drain on limited resources to have everyone on the train or the road at the same time.
