I call the FLATS flats from hell. When did I ever discriminate against the people who live there? If you've got a chip on your shoulder then take it out on someone else. I know there are people who discriminate against the your local residents, but I'm not one of them so don't assume that just because I think the place is a hole. I recently said that Saigon is a hole, didn't have any Vietnamese people calling me a racist though. You'd want to double check your definition of discrimination. Then again I'm probably wasting my time here if I'm trying to explain this to someone who believes they have the right to rob. I call the PLACE a hole. I call the FLATS flats from hell.

But thats not what i'm saying! You called the place a hole (flats from hell). You deserve to be robbed by these people not some normal joe people like you who discrimnate those people. You should have seen this place 15 years ago. Its the kings court yard now. And i believe these people have the right to rob. Thats were my car is right now. But thats not what i’m saying!

And you really think your car is safe in St. Theresa's Gardens? I can understand if you don't like someone bashing an area that you might have some connection to, but you're deluding yourself here.

What difference does it make what I know about it? I'm entitled to give my reaction, and in my opinion, that place is an absolute hole. I'm sorry that you take offence at this.

After I left Cork St., I moved a few blocks away to Harold's Cross, and everything was different. In Cork St., my car was broken into and stereo robbed from the "secure" underground parking lot. In Harold's Cross, on a few occasions I even left my car unlocked for the weekend accidentally and had no trouble. And I kept a bicycle chained up in the back garden and never had to worry about it. Was never woken up by fights on the street, and generally felt safe overall. There is good and bad everywhere, but to varying degrees.

I didn't record anything - I said there would have been great viewing for a webcam, but never would have gone to such lengths myself in reality! Never had a problem with the Centra itself - the staff always did a good job, and the security guard handled situations very well. Just that crossroads and the area outside Centra was a real hotspot - particularly bearing in mind that I was coming from a place where I would rarely see a squad car. Have you got any interesting stories of your own? John, I was there for about 2 months.
