So true, every suburb has things that do not suit everyone. You can have bad neighbours wherever you live they have no select socio economic group they come from all groups and maybe I am one of them who knows
Most people who know the Frankston area are pleased that its not a favourite as I see areas that have become favourites spoiled by over development and change of character. Yes the streets of Frankston South beating there way to Frankston High are paved in gold and people will do anything to get their child in the zone. You would think its the only school that has success when its not true and all the high schools have success from students who want to get on and learn and get a career.
South Melbourne is an expensive area but they have the high rise flats there where problems arise.
Gated communities in Queensland and now we are getting them in Victoria where people live and watch everyone to see that they are not doing things they shouldnt.
Covenants on property that say you must keep your caravan hidden from the Street so the street scape is not spoiled and pipes must be hidden, cant have cats, etc etc these are the new suburbs and the new life of watching one another to see we don't overstep the mark.
For me I like ordinary diverse suburbs where people go about doing their thing.
