They were done first with the earliest cameras, things have improved a lot since, I hope they'll do them again at some point because some are really bad. Just looking around New York some of it looks like it's been taken with a Fisher Price My First Digicam through a grey fog.

Really lowers the standard

A few places in stoke would qualify well for this!

Welcome to the Murder Capital of Europe: The ghettos of Limerick, Ireland.

THE latest murders in Limerick have have tipped the statistical scales to make the feud-blighted city Europe's murder capital.

The Shannonside city has the highest per capita homicide rate in Western Europe , after overtaking Glasgow to claim that dubious distinction.

Limerick has a ratio of over seven homicides per 100,000 population, according to CSO data, while Glasgow recorded just over five killings per 100,000 of its population.

Gardaí are seizing an average of 500 firearms a year in Ireland -- 10 times more guns than they were seizing from republicans and criminals during the Troubles.

Have a look around on Street View

wow, that place looks like an utter hell-hole.

Could never imagine actually raising children in such an area.

It's scary enough when we see pictures of places like this that are thousands of miles away. But Ireland is just on the door step.

I think that's the least of her worries.

Trying to google it but the season 3 Finale of Skins, the one where they have a race around a town and end up stealing Cook's dad's boat.
It may have been a couple of locations spliced togeather but they town they created was grim, run down and a huge dump of a place.

Yeah a complete disgrace, how do you put up with it? It's on a par with the Limerick pics above :rolleyes:

Why dont they just send in the wrecking ball at that Irish place above? It looks like and from a third world country.

To demolish these buildings would invole re-housing hundreds of families that live beside them.

The plan is to move these people to other government housing in the city and then demolish parts of the estate and start again, like the government did in Ballymun in Dublin, which was a ghetto on a much larger scale, and invloved re-housing thousands of families.

Yes, and I'm sure they will give you a greeting that you'll never forget.
