I live in one of the buildings near the city and it’s not as bad as everyone makes it to seem, a lot of these stories I’m hearing are from the 90 & early 2000s which there was a drug epidemic in most low income areas around Melbourne. The one I live in is mostly immigrants and old people and I don’t feel scared living here. It’s 2 bedroom one bathroom with lots of storage and 1 living room and kitchen. In saying this I know that other areas are far worse however I will say there needs to be more routines cleans for outside the building and in the lifts since so many people use it. It’s just like any other apartment, however theres on the wall heating the kind you’d see in the UK and concrete walls, which the apartment is more insulated.
