I can only agree that the two biggest cities have congregated the majority of the population... And that Kovesi is needed not just for this government to be overthrown, but for all of the political system as it is to be overthrown. Because let's not pretend it's not all parties that have the same type of ambitions. The previous 51 years show this clearly.

But come on... Athens in multiple parts isn't ugly to begin with. Most of it is just average. It has too many good areas, and in those too many people live in order to say it's a privilege to live there. Also: it's not chaotically built. The city's got a pretty clear-cut grid structure, that its directions just change due to the geomorphology of the city, as it's not a uniform plain surrounded by mountains. But it's pretty much rectangular city blocks almost everywhere you look at it. And the density of greenery becomes a lot more prominent in the northern, the southern and eastern suburbs.

Garbage? Yeah, that literally was an issue before 2014. It wasn't an issue for Athens. Today all municipalities gather up the garbage daily. What happens throughout the day is a completely different issue, especially when it comes to the centre.

Pavements are really varied. It's not even that Athens has complete lack of them. Far from it.

For the Balkans: Bulgaria and Romania are where they are now because they followed a path different from that of communism, on which regime they were, and Romania was under a hardline communist regime at that. They have all the right to be happy, because their standard of living has improved immensely.
