Re: The End of Switzerland?

OMG, watch out what you wish for. I regularly visit Warsaw once a year and I am bedazzled by humongous skyscrapers which spoil the views. I liked olden architecture, partly similar to Swiss buildings, ornaments and classical touch. Soon we are going to live in a "modern Japanese city".

Just for a sake of example:

This vs that .
Oh I absolutely agree, don't get me wrong. But all these ugly concrete blocks they built in the 70s and 80s (and even in the 90s to our shame) ought to be razed to the ground! What I'm talking about is the reviving of previously undesirable or industrious locations like Zürich West (Technopark) They're doing an excellent job in changing the whole place and its character in a relatively short time, it's projects like these that give me hope that CH finally escapes the great standstill I experienced in the 90s (I was a teenager back then and found most parts of Zürich extremely depressing).

Oh and all that crap about the anti-anti-Swiss crowd getting excited... we aren't. We're just critisizing a bad and unsubstantiated article.
