Yup. I've lived here for a long time, and the area has changed a lot. I
obviously could afford this area when I moved in, but zero chance if doing
the same now.

I had one 'successful' burglary and a couple of attempts before fitting an
alarm some 30 years ago, and since then none. But just how well it has
acted as a deterrent rather than just the area changing, I dunno.
