The aim of the game was positives alongside negatives. Some of your points seem contradictory though. Many of those points are, from what I know both true and harrowing. But surely there is space then for 'someone else' to step in and help, whether that be the council, the government, social enterprises or 'civil society more broadly. For example:

* 'The worst alcohol abuse / The worst drug problems.'
* Are there no policy solutions to this? For example, safe consumption space? Better treatments etc.
* It has the worst violent crime rate.
* From what I understand, this is no longer true. And Glasgow is now held out as an example of how to deal with violent crime? Many policymakers and police forces visit Glasgow to understand how treating violent crime as a health issue can foster success. Again, those improvements are down to 'someone else' - i.e. policymakers
* The worst pollution.
* As many people have said in this thread, this is indeed a problem. One is mostly caused by an incredibly busy motorway running through the heart of the city. I'm entirely unsure of how this could be improved other than by 'someone else', i.e. by central and local government building alternative transport options and, eventually, scraping the M8 or sticking it in a tunnel.
