Heidelberg (Melbourne)
My sister and her BF moved to Heidelberg because they were at Uni and rent was cheap.

Their house was an asbestos clad slum surrounded by junkies and bogans. When they moved in, the front door was missing, taken by the previous tenant, and the mailbox was stuffed with summonses for the same guy.

While they were moving in, the neighbour offered to sell them drugs. They asked about the door and summonses and the neighbour nodded, "yeah, he was a grouse bloke".

The neighbour stopped talking to my sister after the police came around looking for the previous tenant and she suggested that the neighbour seemed to be friends with him.

The sculptures in the park were old engine parts embedded in concrete as that was the only thing vandals couldn't wreck.

Wrecked abandoned cars abounded. A new one was burned every week.

This place is why napalm was invented.

On the other hand,
the mental hospital is conveniently close to the Aldi.

That's a shame
because Heidelberg in Germany is a lovely place.
