These people aren't picky in the investors they let in. It isn't green; it isn't benefiting local people; it isn't meeting the needs of housing for people in one of the most densely populated cities in the UK.
It's a load of concrete blocks of office spaces and unaffordable apartments/housing, most of which are empty atm. I mean, the buildings themselves are uninspired but the purpose of the buildings is even worse.
Invest in the people so they can later invest in the city. So many areas just left without a care in the world (Aston, Nechells, Lea Hall and Handsworth being some of those areas).
Also, when the commonwealth games were on so many areas were rapidly "tidied up" by throwing the fly tipping in areas that people couldn't see. Enforce flytipping laws so you don't have that problem!
