| Comment | >Some areas of the city are fairly deprived and quite rough, especially in the north and east of the city, but I lived in the north and latterly lived and worked in one of the cities most notorious areas and never had any real trouble in the four decades I lived there, and I drank in some fuckin dodgy pubs! - it's a pretty safe city for the most part and most violence is inter gang related.
Yes, there are still some dodgy areas but a lot of them have lingering reputations from the 60s-80s and are nowhere near as bad. I had to find a flat in a hurry and ended up in Maryhill 15 years ago, thought it looked like crap and was always worried about bad things happening. Not had a single problem the whole time I have lived there aside from the odd noisy neighbour.
I wouldn't recommend Shawlands though, it's relatively cheap and has good transport links, but it does have a higher crime rate than surrounding areas (thankfully this is getting better) and the mobile signal is very patchy on some networks. |
