Well it's one of them. Yorkshire.

Cmon now, those pics arent what it looks like in the cities where most people live.
 
My image was a much more accurate representation of the URBAN areas of England.

C'mon yourself mate, this is what you said;
 

Thats pretty much what all of England looks like.

 
There are SOME parts of many cities that look like the picture you posted.
 
However, I've been to just about every large town and city in England at least once and there are also beautiful 'urban' areas like Oxford, Lancaster, Bristol, Winchester, Cirencester, Stratford, Rye, etc etc. and also major regeneration in places like Newcastle and Hull.
 
I don't like sweeping generalisations.

2 years ago next month, I rented a place in Islamorada in the Florida Keys. Private beach, kayaks, snorkeling gear, and the house was beautiful. Flew the kids down and we all had a great vacation. 80 degrees every day. Pretty close to perfect.

I've got a well-travelled, very wealthy friend.  He could move and live anywhere in the world.  After everything he's done, and everywhere he's been, his goal is live in Key West and open a small coffee shop to keep himself occupied.
