Cork city has gone to the dogs.

You've your teenagers barred from Blackrock?

Yes I do ,it’s bananas and a huge sense of denial about if

 

[dennisfallen]

Well, you wouldn't.

Yes you absolutely would. Scum are everywhere now....just as well as decent people. You can't right off whole areas as "good" or " bad", it doesn't work like that.

If someone is okay with public drunkeness, yelling, fighting, open drug dealing, chances are they've grown up around it.
You wouldn't see that behaviour in Rochestown, Bishopstown, Blackrock, Douglas etc would you?

I've spent 20 plus years in and out of district courts ( for work). You see plenty of that behaviour in all those places.

I suspect that this is because you're too afraid to leave your house and when you do the neighbours avoid you because they think you're a weird shut-in.

The one element that is missing/gone in areas all over Cork and other cities and counties.... Is community. It's gone.

Insular, behind the door.

Not knowing thy neighbour.... Worse violence happens there than outside on the open streets.


All we see in Cork City centre for instance could be classed as spillage.

During Covid I noticed it returning for a while.
The worst of times brings out the best in people.

I think you’re right, especially in new housing estates.

I was lucky to have bought a house on a road in a mature park where a lot of the residents have lived here over 40/50 years and there is a great sense of community, people helping each other out borrowing tools etc

During Covid when a lot of my elderly neighbours were frightened to go to shops etc I was always happy to go for them and chat with them in the garden.
