If we had perfection there'd still be someone who was unhappy; theres no such thing. And perfection isn't always necessary is it otherwise we'd have nothing to talk about on this Forum.
I think Forest Hill is perfect enough - nearly 27 years on I have no desire to move anywhere else, at least not in London. And certainly not to the North Circular.
I think it already has the right roads, lots of diversity of landscape and topography (ie hills- something ED doesnt have) and diversity of shops and business, and most definitely the right people!
Happy New Year everyone!
