Pretty grim result, but I think it’s fair. I haven’t felt the CBD is a particularly safe place to be for a long time, and the reason for that is some of the residents, who, to put it nicely, you can never quite predict what they will do next.
And, of course, there’s the state of the infrastructure.
Same here, walk fast and don’t make eye contact.
I don’t think Council realise just how grating being constantly pestered for money can be actually. It definitely means I don’t go to certain parts of Wellington unless I have to.
