[quote=masukuma][quote=jaggernaut]With the once prestigious Lavington, kilimani, kileleshwa etc being taken over by flats (hope Muthaiga and Runda arent next) courtesy of greedy developers, I can imagine how it will be 20yrs from now. We will be posting nolstagic photos of the once exclusive and leafy lavington, where beautiful mansions used to stand on half acre plots. What's so difficult with getting 3000 acres on Mombasa, Kiambu or Thika rd and creating a well planned new 'lavington' there instead of the present degradation? FYI Nairobi was a swamp/forest before those prestigious estates were put up. If they could do it over 50yrs ago we can do it in 2013.[/quote]
these photos should be inspirational! when you see thika as it was and as it is now you should be inspired to move to a far flung area (cheap) and purchase large tracts of land and develop pole pole - your grandkids will be eternally grateful for that coz "uliona mbali". Forget paying for 0.125 acres in the city for the rest of your life only for Nairobi CBD to become like Joberg CBD where no one wants to go and only the poor can afford houses there.[/quote]
