    To your response, growing up years before "Political correction" I'd say yes and same time no.

    My area was a strange one. One part very poor; Muslims and 'foriengers' (as my racist father would call it), rich 'jewish' areas with strange houses and normal 'Christian' suburbs for 'normal' people. the '' is my failed parental teachings.

    The school fights were bloody and violent and the medics were often called out. In a way it was good as people were learning that they just hated and were looking for excuses to beat the living shit out of someone.

    There were parts of the place you didnt go - I guess a 'no-go' as you put above. Pubs were very risky and in clubs which were a giant sleaze fest - I would be know to just be dancing over blood.

    Now there is a lid and a word on things and I only see people subressed not to talk about it nor admit there is a problem.

    Personally I think this is the power of the BritExit and Trump movements as suddenly bigets have a 'say/'vote'.

    I digress, moving on to your question ... to be honest yes but on a smaller scales.
    Not because the world is better but as people are too fucking poor to living in London and are having to move out.

      as to strange houses - my father was a chartered surveyor so I would get low downs on house in the car!
