I'd have Glasgow down as the best or second best.

Thought it was an absolute dump, awful miserable drab place altogether.

I absolutely loved it. Full of art, culture, music, life and the loveliest people.

I lived near Aongus Von Bismarck always felt inferior!

I've never lived in a bad place but I've seen some absolute kips in the corse of my work in Dublin. How some landlords manage to get rent for places I wouldn't let my dog sleep in is beyond me

No.

But that's another dump

[Deleted User]

Rialto/Dolphins Barn. Packed with gangs of kids that need daily public whipping.

Castlebar. Bit of a kip, that funny mix of provincial/knackery/council estate that athlone/longford/mullingar also manage.

Dont have a third, most other places all have an argument for them

"new" Lucan was horribly depressing. Hated being a minority as the only Irish person on the road.

I lived on Russell Avenue when i first got there in 2004 probably one of the worst parts of Wood green at the time, never felt safe, a lot of gangs and a lot of knives.

Ended up moving to Islington, Holloway road after that. And i loved the place.

North Miami Beach is far out in front here. Miami is only great if you have money and I had no money at the time.

Fortunately I never lived in a complete dive or dodgy area but my ex and I sub let a room in a 3 bed top floor apt in 2001 from a couple in Milltown in Dublin 6.

The apt was quite nice and our room was big but the so called double bed was tiny and uncomfortable to sleep in and the couple we sub let off treated the place like it was theirs exclusively. Hogged the kitchen and living room and shrugged their shoulders when we asked for a bigger bed and for a broken shower in the bathroom to be fixed. He was Irish and his girlfriend was half German, half Polish. The smallest room was lived in by a really nice Spanish girl who was hardly ever there as she worked very long hours in a restaurant.

They really made us feel like 2nd class people given their behaviour - having guests over and parties when we were trying to get to sleep, loud music, leaving the kitchen in a mess for us to clean up etc. The final straw was when they overcharged us on utility bills which my then OH found out about. The girlfriend turned out to be a particularly nasty bitch.

We moved out after 5 months.

I've only lived in three places.. Monaghan, Galway, and Hanoi.

Some places I've lived in have been complete dives though. Even thinking about it is making me cringe.

Krypton - Extremely arrogant locals, contemptuous of outsiders.

Rigel 7 - The three suns were magnificent, but the gravity is just too strong, I felt exhausted all the time.

Earth - Ugh, the less said the better.

Carrigaline, carrigaline,and guess what carrigaline, barking dogs,barking tenants,litter louts,noise pollution,and currently my neighbour who has his 60/70 cider empties all in a row in the back garden,what a ****ehole

Can't say I've ever lived in a crap place, but the abject poverty and the heartbreaking and very open child prostitution - I still shudder at the images of white male adults walking around hand-in-hand with young teenage Cambodian girls - I witnessed in Cambodia brought home to me how even the worst possible place in Ireland is a heaven compared to the horrors happening in other places in our planet.

Sunshine is not everything..

It attracts ****ty people, I found it difficult to make real connections there.

Trigger Happy

I have only really disliked on place that I have lived.
Phibsboro. I was on low wages and lived in a bedsit there for a few months. Was so happy to be able to move out.

At the time it felt like a suburb for those that had lost hope. Other people loved it there though.

kal7

Tripoli, Libya ( was ok when I was there though I am told and I was only 2 and 3 years old)

Notting hill, london

Not really got a third be lucky maybe Shantalla, Galway. Mainly bad landlord and house, area just felt depressing.

My idea of culture mind is a decent cinema and a good band scene and beautiful buildings.
