| Comment | Have you been there recently? It is so thoroughly gentrified it is basically unrecognisable from even like 3 years ago. I think a lot of the folks who think of Govanhill as some kind of ghettoised hellscape either haven't really been there or if they have it was for 5 minutes 12 years ago. People talk about it like it is the Gaza Strip or something but the place has literally 20 organic coffee shops, a zero waste grocery store, an organic seed depository, a dozen vegan cafes, even a damn alternative medicine veterinarian. It ain't exactly the favelas of Rio De Janeiro. There are still certainly some problems but drop that neighborhood exactly as it is in New York and London and it would likely be the #1 location for young 20 somethings and everyone would look at you like you had 2 heads if you talked about how "rough" it was. |
