Neighbourhood fun time.

For the past year and a half i've lived in a comfortable and cozy neighbourhood on the east border of Vancouver. Lots of nice restaurants surround the complex, tennis courts, basketball courts, a baseball diamond with plenty of park space and close proximity to the skytrain.
Frequently the neighbourhood bears more exciting moments than the general family fare. Over the past 2 hours there's been hobos screaming, some "thugs" bragging, drunks yelling, girls laughing moronically, fights, and squad cars using the loudspeakers. On any other random night includes rapes, domestic disputes, fireworks shooting off, cars patrolling the area or revving repeatedly, the occasional hookers and plenty of other oddities almost always on tap from midnight onwards. Makes for a pleasant night time jaunt to grab some pho.
What kind of neighbourhood do you inhabit? Has it been kind to you or are you aching to escape it's grasp?

but where I live is nice and quiet, aside from the occasional confused deer bumbling about
My roommate's girlfriend came over last week. She was walking to the stairs to come up to our apartment and some black dude walked up to her, dropped his pants, and starting fondling his junk and saying, "you like this?" She bolted up to our place and told us about it but by the time we got down the four flights of stairs, he was long gone.
I live inner city. There's two parks opposite, though, so it's very leafy and green.
There is a huge, derelict church right next door which holds free parties and tramps. The police swing by often.
Work is 5 mins walk away, the University is less than two minutes' walk away, it's a 20 min walk into the city centre and there are several pubs and shops nearby.
edit: a fishmonger, if you will
Also, instead of other houses across the street, there's an elementary school, so I have to put up with the fat fucking parents who are too fucking lazy to get out of their giant fucking SUVs to go get their fucking fat children, so they sit there leaning on their goddamn fucking horn over and over again when I'm trying to fucking sleep or read and then I have to walk out onto my porch and yell for them to shut the hell up.
when the street was all young we used to have these massive games of cops and robbers
A lady just moved in.
This lady owns a dog.
A stupid small dog that barks.
I want to stab this dog and give it to Viv so she may cook it for me and tell me that it is chicken.
Other than that where I live is fucking sweet.
Satans..... hints.....
My house is "A"
EDIT: jan holy shit so much green
i'm in between the truck and the egyptian brothel
Pretty much the entirety of New South Wales is as brown or browner than my picture
Moving on up?
To be fair though, it isn't brown, it is just a duller green.
I like Australia's colours.
Satans..... hints.....
that's like
blinding!
There is NOTHING to break the monotony of those streets
and I am scrubbing the fuck out of my dishes so the fucking ants don't have a snack
fucking ants
don't expect a fishmonger though. i've looked everywhere.
You can't see it in my area, but every 200 meters there is a 10 meter height difference, upsy downsy upsy downsy.
I am looking at the engineering in those roads with awe.
(I am of course a massive nerd)
Satans..... hints.....
no but the mexican gangs are always coming up the bridge and stealing shit and causing trouble
and more of them are staying here all the time
also the kids in my little area are horrible monsters. aside from standard constant screaming we also have a few minor arsons in the complex every year (mostly dumpster fires, a neighboring hours got their trees and then fence bordering my complex burned down a few months ago) and a bunch of little wannabe gangbangers tagging shit up like they're not total queers
I shall see if I can dig up something of my apartment.
Satans..... hints.....
Yeah, I am an architecture student, so I tend to look into these things.
The roads seem quite wide and very regular, no fucking around with dumb roads, the houses fit together very well and such.
Property developers dream.
EDIT: Yourclothes' seems like a huge clusterfuck.
Please validate me blaket
I think most people are happier with having parks, pubs and shops nearby. The UK is great in that regard as many cities sprung up from smaller towns and villages joining together, so often little central areas are preserved.
You can live in a heavily-populated, urban area and yet not feel too crowded. I do. Sheffield houses are tiny and cramped but there's enough greenery and open spaces and shops to make living here quite enjoyable.
EDIT: And I did a degree in architecture so yeah
Not that that really counts for anything (I just want to be cool)
PG county?
Most of canberra was designed by the government, it was a shining example of great city design when it comes to utilities and spacing.
Recently they started selling land to property developers, who want as much on the land as possible. and that is terrible.

See the difference in spacing and such? those roads are 2 hatchbacks wide, side to side, it is murder.
