Now before I start this isn't a biased Cardiffian post I mean this genuinely.
You can sort of understand their hatred of Cardiff and their "Cardiff gets everything" rhetoric.
As city centres go I'd ask questions of what their council is doing, it's dire literally light years behind your Cardiff's, Bristol etc even Plymouth is better.
It's literally like a forgotten town and it's almost shameful. A City with the beautiful gower on the doorstep, the beach, the football putting it on the map and it's shit.
Have the council down there done nothing??

Yes gower is lovely shame it's in Swansea!
But it's not about gvmnt spending it's about council does with funds Swansea have had loads money but they waste it only got to look at millions spent on rds in centre even taxis don't know where to go? The investment went on sa1 and that's a joke area compared to the bay

SA1 was going to be the jewel in the crown but it's taken too long already businesses are shutting up shop because it wasn't the development they'd hoped.

I had to go into town a few weeks ago, grim is not the word.

I moved to Newport 15 months ago and it is a strange place. Parts of it (friars walk and around civic centre) are fine. Commercial street and areas like Pill, Maesglas and Maindee are horrific and the crime rates and drugs are out of control. The biggest issue Newport has is the backwards council however over past year or so with Severn bridge tolls being cut there has been a 30% rise in house prices and lots of new investment.

Going to live in Newport instead is probably the same as 3 relegations in a row in comparison. The sooner they build a bridge from cardiff bay straight across the channel and into Bristol city the better.

I do feel that the tidal lagoon should have gone ahead and would have bought more employment and investment to the area. The biggest issue I would say is the locals who are the welsh version of scousers. They blame everyone else for their problems many of which are self inflicted. Sometimes you have to get off your backsides and make things happen.

It's choice between concrete or historical restoration. Time is irrelevant.
