We asked our readers what they thought would make Edinburgh a better place to live in, and they told us their thoughts. Among the many suggestions were better music venues, better roads and cleaner street.
More affordable homes and the comeback of high end shops on Princes Street were also among the things they wanted to see in the city.
Here are 13 things that Edinburgh residents think would make the city a better place to live.
9. More affordable housing
One of the most popular answers from readers on what Edinburgh needs was more affordable, social housing. Many called for less student accommodation but most want to see more affordable properties. Soaring rents and demand for homes can leave families 'locked out' of rental market. Photo: Catriona Thomson
10. Bring back suburban railway
It’s 60 years since the last regular passenger train made its final journey on Edinburgh's South Suburban railway. Now we have a modern tram line and a decent bus network. But some have called for the suburban railway line to be reinstated. Photo: John S Wilson
11. Cheaper parking
Motorists want to see cheaper parking especially in the city centre where charges have been branded 'well above the odds'. The cost of leaving a car in some city-centre streets recently jumped by as much as £1.10 per hour. Photo: Stock
12. A subway
In 1889, the Caledonian Railway Company, who once operated the now demolished Princes Street Station devised an ambitious plan to build a subway system connecting the city centre and Leith. It would have been the world’s fourth municipal underground railway. Now residents say they want to see the idea revisited. Photo: SOPA Images (Getty)
