In my small town of Visalia, CA, the town is seperated by Highway 198 running east and west, which splits it up in north and south sections. The town originally started in the north section and grew southward. Now, most of the crime that happens in Visalia usually occurs in the north section of town.
I had problems with the survey itself. As I pointed out the SOUTH side of Chicago is NOT the baddest part of town. The WEST side is much worse.
I was told probably but most people associate it with the south.
So you have a survey that isn’t doing what it should.
The north side of Oslo isn’t really the “baddest” part of town, but what’s called the north (it’s really the northeast) is where a lot of planned suburbs were built in the '50s and '60s. As was the case with many other European cities, these suburbs never became the utopia they were intended to be; instead they led to boredom, isolation, vandalism and youth gangs and have nearly all had their turn as “the baddest part of town”.
However, the traditional division of Oslo is east/west along Akerselva (a river). The west side, predictably, is the fashionable side. I think there’s a European agreement about that.
“Notoriously bad”? I live on the Northside. Yes, it’s (generally) worse than the Southside. But we’re not talking Bed-Stuy here.
North Belfast is also worse than South Belfast, BTW.
In Milwaukee, the bad “side” of town is the north side (seems to me there’s just a pocket or two).
oh yeah baby! north belfast!!
antrim, shankill, falls, limestone and crumlin roads
all infamous blackspots during the troubles, and not too hot at the moment either.
north dublin’s ok ( well, maybe not ballymun, or up near croke park) but hey, i live in D4…southside as you can get.
maybe it’s ireland’s perversity about these things
