I periodically spend time in a place so rough you wouldn't believe.
The locals are split, broadly, into 3 or 4 warring groups, and I kid you not, barely an hour can pass without a small intifada being declared.

Newcomers are chased away as if they were the spawn of satan, and there's a hundred by-laws which are used to beat them over the head.

There's been very little regeneration work for years, so it's a bit like stepping back in a time-warp.

Still, on the plus side, I mostly hang out on "links" which is a bit friendlier.
