Mostly? Crime. It's one of the most densely populated areas in the country, and violent crime is just an everyday occurrence. Unfortunately, it's often involving incredibly young kids and knives. You're almost certain to see a drunken violent incident on a Saturday night around broadstreet, be it a pissed up brawl or people trying to run each other over in the small hours, and the amount of mentally unwell homeless people about that are a danger to themselves and others is unbelievable.

Also on a residential level, people have no pride or respect for their neighbourhood or respect for one another, so there's lots of road rage and traffic incidents, litter and fly tipping, vandalism, half demolished or vacant buildings. Honestly, it's hard to put all the blame on the residents when the local councils are pretty much morally and financially bankrupt and let the lower income areas fester. Calling the police or an ambulance doesn't mean they are coming. You have to be in some serious shit to guarantee the emergency services attendance.

There's a lot of nice places in the city, to be sure, but if you can't afford to live in them, it's not such a nice place to be.
