OK, it might have been the birthplace of heavy metal but I'm running out of stereotypically shit British towns.

West Belfast is a crap-hole. Use that instead.

What's wrong with Bracknell SportChico? Remember visiting years ago, it looked decent. Middle class. No?

The crime rate in Naples is considerably higher than the national average across all communities in America from the largest to the smallest, although at 28 crimes per one thousand residents, it is not among the communities with the very highest crime rate. The chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime in Naples is 1 in 36. Based on FBI crime data, Naples is not one of the safest communities in America. Relative to Florida, Naples has a crime rate that is higher than 48% of the state's cities and towns of all sizes.

And that's a FACT!

You've described many parts of the US there.

Same bucket, different shit.

Are you joking? Bracknell is a total shit hole. The surrounding areas are very wealthy, but Bracknell? **** no!

Fleet is a beautiful place to live. What's wrong with the picture you show? It looks like any other affluent town centre.
