When exactly did Gospel Oak constitute a "no go" area???
I have edited this article. I lived on what might be termed a "sink estate" in the 1960s and 1970s, and these deprived city areas certainly pre-dated Thatcherism! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Solidsandie (talk • contribs) 17:40, 13 July 2009 (UTC) ggg —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.150.62.197 (talk) 17:50, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
non-UK equiv pls!
so what does it equate to? i was thinking "tenement", but google reveals a few sites saying sink estates are "much worse". as a yank, i'm not quite sure how -- tenement is already the bottom of the barrel.
there's also "projects" but i think that's just "council housing", no? bit worse image in the US than the UK, but still well above tenement. tenement is a "project" in horrid shape...which sounds like the relationship between sink estate and council housing, no? 209.172.25.170 (talk) 02:38, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
