too soon?

so, camden town's been ablaze tonight.



i can't help think that the timing and location of the fire is just a little bit suspicious.

what with the successful redevelopment of the stables market; the increase in property prices and continual gentrification, it does, on first appearances, look like their will be some people making an awful lot of money as a result of this unfortunate incident.

not that i'd ever be the one to point fingers, or anything, but come on... it is just a little too convenient

The stables hasn't really changed much though has it? And can you actually name any alternative shops in the canal market? It is just pop up stalls selling london tat and a million copies of what the local alternative tourists happen to be buying at the time. It needs redeveloping into a market that attracts proper unique traders and have space for small shops. It won't have a starbucks or gap because it's not in a prominent enough location. And also the council says (if we believe them is another matter!) that no shops will be allowed in the redevelopment of the markets if they have more then 10 shops.
