Rundown town centres

Bristol.

People have this lovely image of Bristol with Clifton suspension bridge gracefully spanning the avon gorge, and the lovely victorian houses in Clifton and Clifton Village. Picture postcard. Lovely.

The reality is the whole City is pretty much a shit hole with individual districts vying for being the shittest:

Hartcliffe - not safe at night. Or the daytime.
Lawrence Weston - makes Harlem look like Martha's Vinyard
Southmead - make sure you have a gun on you
Lockleaze - I'd rather live in Strangeways. Most of the residents used to.
St. Pauls - up and coming. From the very bottom
Bedminster - "bohemian". AKA "a total shithole"
Patchway - cheapest drugs in town
Easton - Average life expectancy, 26
St. Werbergs - Handy if you fancy a shag for £20

I can go on and on. The whole place is an utter dump.

The £20 shag sounds quite reasonable.

Wait until the drones start dropping our purchases in our back gardens. Delivery drivers will be a thing of the past. All this stuff delivered straight to the door, drive throughs, no wonder half the country is obese. Every fucker sat on their fat arses looking at a screen, no talking, no walking . We're going to end up back in the caves mumbling shit and eating raw meat!

Hahaha ooh shit, I'm laughing but you aren't far from the truth pal.

The human race will be replaced by advanced robots which don't die and constantly consume, never get obese and so on.

Robots buying goods from other robots which are controlled by a very small minority of humans which will still be on this earth but have the ability to programme the bots so they don't harm them.
 
I went to Gillingham a few years ago (when Benarbia backheeled it to the Goat). The town centre there would take some beating. A riot of concrete, track suits, bull terriers and gingerness. All of the Medway towns are dire. The name Rochester conjures up images of Dickins, but it's just like Gillingham. Further North, Luton is another complete toilet

My point about Bristol is that virtually the entire city needs bulldozing. Most towns have the posh areas, the OK areas and the run-down areas. Bristol has 1 posh area and 39 run-down areas. It's thousands of acres of meh. And yet, bizarrely, when I say I live in Bristol, peoples' eyes light up and they say "ooo, isn't Bristol lovely". It's like some Orwellian big brother/emperor's new clothes thing going on. I feel like saying, "have you BEEN to Hartcliff"??? Chernobyl is nicer.

My sister used to live in Horfield. That had some prize specimens in it as well. I only went to the pub there the once!
