In reply to ash_sak:
I live in South Leeds, Beeston to be exact. Yes it a bit of a dump but I love it here.
Due to some of the cheapest housing in Leeds it's a really multi cultural area with both people who have moved here and people who have been housed here as refugees.
There are loads of different community programs you can get involved in that help the area and the people who live here.
Excellent transport links in to the center, there is a bus every 5 minutes to the center of Leeds.
I door climbing, Leeds wall is only a 5 minute cyce ride away.
Outdoor climbing, Chevin, Almscliffe, Shipley Glen etc are only 30 to 45 mins drive away and because Beeston sits at the join between the M1 and M62 going North,south, East or west is easy and you can be at places like Stannage in under 1 hour.
If you havnt guessed by now, I love Beeston, it's a shit hole but it's my shit hole and the community groups are working on improving it.
