It's one of the highest areas for crime in Cardiff
Last 3 months has seen 200 violent crimes , on average , per month
When I worked there cardiffs heroin users were being housed in bedsits on and off city road
I don't think there is a clash of cultures or any sort of major meltdown but its a typical mixed inner city area with a transient population , a night time economy , students etc and its quite run down these days
