Comment	In the last few years it's sad to see that some areas in Glasgow have become no-go areas. Govanhill for example, I would not allow my daughter or wife to walk through there alone especially at night, my aunt stayed in the area for over 30 years and loved it, last year things go that bad she finally left and was heartbroken as the area meant so much to her, but she valued her safety more than memories. Some folks will tell you how some areas are improving, but fail to tell you that the reason they are improving is due to the areas being pulled down with the trash being moved elsewhere. I had a friend in the Gorbals from Poland who stayed their with his wife and child, more or less the same rubbish you are going through, but they were lucky as he got a decent job after Uni and his wife had a job so they were able to move out. The Gorbals area has improved, which seemed to coincide with the high flats where they stayed getting pulled down. Where I stay is classed as an OK area, but I won't park my car on the main road as there is no guarantee you will have windows in the morning or tyres that aren't stabbed, we have contacted the local MSP and police who have and will continue to do nothing. I know people who have given up owning a car as they weren't willing to pay for constant windows and tyres replacement every time a few drunk idiots decided to start a fight with their car.
