Rubbish TownsI once went to Basildon. It was closed, I got chased by a bunch of knuckle-dragged yobs until I was lost in a maze of concrete alleyways and got food poisoning off pie. Tell us about the awful places you've visited or have your home.
Thanks to SpankyHanky for the suggestion

Funnily enough,Gorton seems to be the destination for most of my mates upon buying their first house. I'm guessing price has a fair bit to do with that. The Moss Side being out of reach bit has me baffled though. In terms of price or location? Judging by your seemingly academic vocation I'd imagine Moss Side is closer to all of Manchesters Universities.

Price is everything.I managed to get a much better house in Gorton than I would have been able to afford in most other places in the city. In fairness, my second choice for a house was in the outskirts of Moss Side - but it cost more and was smaller. And the yard wasn't South-facing.
As for location: it takes me 15 minutes to get from my door to my office by bike; it's pretty much a straight line, and only 3 miles.
