If one thing I have learnt over the course of my 28 years, it's that if you place poor people in high density, in a secluded or otherwise inobservable or semi private area, they will revert to savage animals preying on each other and defacing the environment around them. I would love to see Glenbaillie place be a nice destination to go sit on a patio drinking a nice Organic Shade Grown locally roasted coffee, or seeing hippies playing hackysack in the street rather than stepping over spent nedles and broken crackpipes on my way home.
