The worst places I have lived
Beverly road in Hull and Armley in Leeds. I imagine Birmingham to be a mix of both but with shittier looking buildings.

I've lived in Hull and I can assure you that Birmingham is infinitely better in so many ways.
It also has many very attractive looking buildings, which with investment have turned some of the previously shittier parts into pretty decent areas.
I think you may be getting confused with the 1970s.
