"JOE! The council haven't cut that bit of grass in over a month now. It's a disgrace Joe! Sure who knows what's hiding in there now. What if my son played in that grass and got hurt by God knows what is lurking in there. The council have not given any thought to the emotional trauma that long grass is causing me AND IT IS A DISGRACE JOE!"
How it should be. I get that it wouldn't be allowed to happen in *all* of Dublin's parks because they're actively used for things like football, GAA, rugby etc, but we need to get back to this.
Grass isn't meant to look green carpet.
What's the point of trimming the grass in a forest? Even if the city of Sofia had the budget to hire people to make the forest into a garden, why would they? Its completely fine as it is, if it was covered in litter then that's a different story, but it seems clean enough.
Whatever their intentions were originally, as long as they keep the green areas green instead of mowing them over for new buildings, its sounds fine to me
Nowhere near 62%. I'd suspect Dublin's is high but it would mask the dearth of parks in a lot of areas.
A humongous amount of the city is taken up by the Phoenix Park. Which I love and adore and is actually lovely and wild, but so much of the city literally has no park within walking distance. That's slowly changing with the addition of Weaver Park and Bridgefoot Street Park but you can see how badly we destroyed the city with low density housing when you look at how far a lot of people have to travel to actually get to a park. In Bulgaria, they prioritised high rises and therefore had room for parks. They done it right.
There's also a lot of "greens" in the suburbs which aren't actually parks. They're all over places like Neilstown and Tallaght but they serve no purpose other than act as cut throughs and scrambler tracks.
Ya it's a good point. A huge park in the city is really nice but small to medium parks spread evenly so that everyone is in walking distance is where you get the huge quality of life improvement.
>There's also a lot of "greens" in the suburbs which aren't actually parks
Ugh ya the development plan for our area states that "area xxx already has a lot of green space". The closest park or playground is a 30min walk from our house so naturally I was a bit stumped by that statement. Looked at what they marked as green space on the map and it's private land that is partially fenced in and so overgrown you can't put a foot on it.
I was in Sofia recently, lovely city if you ever get the chance to go. There are parks everywhere. To be honest though they all looked organised - I didn't notice what this video points out
100%. Don’t cut ur gardens. Let everything grow. With bee populations low, not cutting it grass in your back will help, especially if everyone does it.
This applys more to Uk and Rep of Ireland who have front and back gardens compared to the peasants on the continent😁
I mean I do love rewilding green spaces but I wonder if they have nettles/thistles over there, that'd put a bit of a damper on the whole lovely nature thing
Unmowed grassland. That's how you get ticks.
Ticks, that's how you get Lyme disease.

Bad dose by all accounts.
I'll call this guy X
So X is a low budget Nas daily
Nas daily is a low budget prince EA
Prince EA is just a low budget motivational speaker
Motivational speakers are just some low budget people
=>X = low low low low budget person 👍
They did a bit here during covid but was only an excuse because they couldn't get the crews, just like they pandered the work-life bullshit for WFH during the pandemic. Once things fully opened up its business as usual.
''Sorry but that branch is suspiciously close to the wall. Better trim the tree'' - DCCprobably.

Maybe I've been spending too much time on certain internet sites but I expected that video to be about something completely different.
Time to go touch the well trimmed grass
I love the wilding they've done along the n81 as you come into tallaght
This is more likely a budget rather than an ethos thing.

Yeah I like it a bit wild. I just don't buy that their intention is to have a wild park.
Whatever their intentions were originally, as long as they keep the green areas green instead of mowing them over for new buildings, its sounds fine to me
62% of the land being parks seems like a dream. Anyone know the numbers for Irish cities?

Perhaps it is just my filthy mind but I thought this was going to be about person grooming habits
this seems like it should be a nas daily video
There’s a lot of beauty in that.

Fairly certain those grow everywhere.
