"This was bad area of town but that was over 15 years ago,..."
That's the same as where I live now, Hannah! Especially when I moved here.. I would tell everyone I lived in Hervanta (subsection of the main town) and everyone would be like "ooh..aren't you scared to walk somewhere at night" or "do you have problems with drunks" and so on.
The funny thing is, is that this area was a slum and not so nice place, back then. Not to mention it is where the Technical University is, so TONS of students (then and now). It is also where poor immigrants and foreigners were put.. So of course it isn't going to be an affluent section of town.
These days it is just like other parts of town.. many building being renovated (after 20+ years they need it!), tons of new buildings going up, the shopping center is expanding.. This place is perfectly fine and I like it here.. except it takes 1hour for me to get to work because it is totally the opposite side of town. LOL
