People like you and me find council estates scary
because they're alien to us - they're not like the
places where we grew up, and the people there
aren't like the people we grew up with. This has
absolutely nothing to do with their actual safety.

I'm not entirely sure if that was partly aimed at me... but I spent my
formative years a few hundred yards from Tottenham's infamous Broadwater
Farm Estate, so my reason for saying that council estates are best avoided
is nothing to do with ignorance.
