Inside SOUTHAMPTON'S Most DYSTOPIAN, DISGUSTING Estates! on 22:58 - Feb 26 by dirk_doone
How to get mugged.
Sometimes I have to go through Millbrook and the areas around where I grew up, truth is I was shocked at how downhill it had gone in the last 20 years or so.
No one seemed to care about the area, things dumped all over the place, there was no pride in the area or keeping it looking nice.
However if you see some of these you tube things from other cities, Southampton is relatively neat & tidy by comparison.

I was in the Gorbals more than 50 years ago, when it was the UK's most notorious slum for social deprivation and gang violence. There was a layer of sawdust on the pub floors because men suffered from lung disease and so had to hawk up phlegm constantly, but I don't recall seeing litter anywhere. People tried to do their best.
I grew up on a council estate. Not central Sampton but not far away.
The mums and dads on that estate (100 houses all built around the same time and therefore mostly filled by young families) took a fierce pride in keeping the place clean and tidy. It was not unusual for us kids to pick up a telling off for being noisy or cheeky.
Around 15/20 years ago things started to change. The council started moving in "problem" families and they brought with them trouble in the form of abandoned cars, noise late at night, kids who were frankly feral and for all I know problems with drugs (not that I saw or investigated that).
My parents at the time has bought the council house they had been living in for 40+ years but their life was made a misery by neighbours. In the end, much though it broke my Mum's heart, we moved them out.
My view, based on the experience of my family, is that personal standards have fallen and many just don't care about where they live or how they live or whether their lives make others worse. If you do care about all of this, a council estate is no longer where you need to be.
