How "rough" a place feels is usually the difference in inequality between rich and poor, rather than absolute poverty. That's why parts of London, West London especially feel so shitty. The average might be high but gap between rich and poor is huge

[@juangomezfuentes8825]

If an area feel shitty is because is shitty, without comparation. Something feel shity if their people are not civic (leaving everything dirty, not taking care of their gardens, not maintaining the front of the house, etc). That has little to do with being rich or poor and a lot about education. I am technically poor and you wont see my grass not cut, rubbish in the road in front of my house, my front door not painted in 20 years and you wont see me going to the Tesco in my pyjamas. That is what makes a road look shitty and has nothing to do with the money. Maybe the rich just pay somebody to do all that stuff, but it is not an excuse for that level of lazyness.

They became retirement enclaves because the housing was cheaper as there is low employment other than in the tourism trade and even that was dying. And it's even worse now as some seaside resorts such as Rhyl are used to dump people straight out of prison because of the cheap accommodation. People quite rightly didn't want to stay in guesthouses with lots of rules and not being able to stay there during the day in bad weather. They either wanted to go abroad with guaranteed sunshine and warm weather or go into self catering accommodation or stay in holiday camps such as Butlins or hotel complexes with leisure facilities and entertainment included in the prices. We opted for self catering accommodation on both the coast and inland and went exploring by car. More freedom with that and you could stay in if the weather was bad or you weren't feeling well.

I live in Cleethorpes (next to Grimsby) where Grimsby's East Marsh and West Marsh areas are populated by a deprived communities, My grandfather ran a bakery in these locations from the 1930s to the 1960s. In all that time I am told he sold bread a penny cheaper, "Because they cannot afford more." Even today, those areas lack amenities such that their residents must travel (at some cost) to reach bigger shops with fair prices. I have taken beer in pubs there (east marsh, west marsh has few) and the people are decent, lively and no different from me, apart from the few, that are being drowned in drugs, crime and deep despair. It is not for me to pass judgement but I feel for those that live there under that greater risk of harm. I have laughed with them, but then return to a safer area to sleep.

[@dagmaraelfman576]

I'm from the south of England but I moved to Grimsby over 20 years ago, it is a deprived town (although it's meant to be undergoing a series of improvements!) and there are crime and drug problems here, but on the whole I love living here; it's unpretentious and the majority of the residents are kind, friendly and, although the wages are low, they are always ready to support local charites and people down on their luck - and Grimsby and Cleethorpes definitely have the best fish and chips in the country! 😁

[@barrycooke2357]

There is no such thing as a second world country, not in the sense you're using it anyway. The term "The Third world" was coined during the Cold War. It relates to the geopolitical landscape at the time. The first two worlds referred to those countries allied to either NATO or to the Warsw Pact. Those countries who had no allegiance to either were referred to as the "Third" world. It included many affluent and industrialised nations. The term was hijacked in the early seventies to mean poor countries. This was because a lot of these non aligned countries were from Africa. This was down to the misconception that the phrase referred to the world's poorest one third of it's population.
