There's no homes in the shot (besides that one apartment building). They're all businesses, mostly fast food. Can't identify anything else but typically there'll be a barbers, convenience store, vape store and a betting shop... that's about it.
There are more alcoholics than junkies here, but you'll see enough of both in places like that
On this street there are mainly fast food yeah. Theres also a sex shop just to the right there. None of the others though. That's also not an apartment building, it's an office, unless you mean the big metal one, that's a car park.
You're right, I dunno why I've never seen those before, despite going down there often, and considering they're right around the sex shop lmao. A fun fact, the office building used to belong to BT.
Yeah this literally looks like any dense old neighborhood. In fact a lot of people pay extra to live near/on those streets where I live because it means easy access to restaurants, groceries, public transit, etc.
The reason you don’t see this kind of development as much anymore is that cars led to less mixed use space. This is where streetcar stops would’ve been once upon a time.
Yeah they're just poor/rundown areas, could be much worse. They're pretty quiet outside of holidays and Friday/Saturday nights and most trouble is just kids doing dumb shit.
