What has happened to Brighton?

[sir albion]

It's a bloody shite hole
Every time I visit it gets worse
Rusty railings
Boarded up buildings everywhere
Homeless people scattered everywhere
Weird scruffy people
Graffiti galore
Buildings that are desperate for a lick of pain and a clean up
It has gone backwards with no funding what's so ever and clearly is a city in decline considering it's on the door step of London and has over 10 million visitors a year spending a fair few whack.
So why is it so bloody poor?

To many students?
Can't attract the right business's ?
The greens?

Really sad to see the way it's going and will only get worse.Many other cities and towns in the south have moved with the times and look clean and well maintained yet Brighton reminds me of Blackpool behind the mile....Facking depressing and full of poverty mostly !!!

Strangely hove looks well tidier and well maintained

Ever since the Conservatives lost control of the council, the city has become scruffier every year

Yes it's always had those types but it seems to have gone to the next level and apart from the avalanche of weirdos it's the state of the buildings and parts along the seafront where areas are blocked off because it's clearly unsafe...instead of actually doing the repairs it's left to be an eyesore.Just so underfunded and clearly it's desperate for a huge regeneration project

Very depressing place and for the first time ever I couldn't wait to drive out of there

Yes - lived in the city all my life. Had definitely got sruffier in the past 10 years

Utter bollocks, Brighton is the place to be!

Tory austerity

Was always like that in the 60's and 70's. In the late 80's and onwards Brighton really smartened itself up. Sad that a lack of investment is leading to more run-down areas.

 

[Bladders]

Odd , thought it had always been a run down dump full of weirdos .

No different to any other tired seaside down .

Even Hastings looks better these days

Agree with the OP. I doubt Brighton would feature very high on the list of nice places in the U.K. I could probably name 20 places I'd rather live.

 

[GreersElbow]

There’s a correlation between increase in rust and the number of students.

Id rather be flogged with rusty barbed wire than live in Brighton (or Lewes) but having said that its so full of weirdos there would probably be people in to that!

 

[theboybilly]

I've just come down the Holloway Road and, just like Tottenham High Road, it's a ghetto. Brighton is Bel Air in comparison

You live in Swindon.

Which I suppose is good for you, because as a strange looking dribbling retard with an IQ in the single digits you fit right in with the locals.
