From what our father says it was always a bad neighborhood. OK not as bad as now, but still bad.

So I don't think that it's a RACE issue... I think it's a POVERTY issue. My thinking is that these poor people (and I do mean poor) are so upset about their situation that they harbor hostility against anyone who would come into their neighborhood and start filming them. In short, even if a Black man was behind the camera, they'd treat him the same.

most people in region park are black, and since coming from a poor country, they are expected to be poor here, and being poor leads to violence (gang, rob...). the end

so which one is more expensive to live in?
tokyo or london (i know its one of them)
London to eat, smoke, public transport and cinema
I think Norway and Switzerland are probaly more expensive than both.
I'm from Brighton England, where its London prices without the benefits
