You are correct, I don't have any crime statistics for Liverpool city center... Are they available as a crime per 1000 population?

And a follow-up Q.
How populated is the city center at this time with actual residents, not tourists in hotels? And how will ths increase with Liverpool Waters?

As has been mentioned here before, the giant block living built in the 60's was not particularly sucessful.

I assume that the city apartments will be rated as "desirable" and will be populated by the upper income group of scousers... is this correct?
Also, is there any plan in the Liverpool Waters, or equivalent, projects to provide lower cost housing for the poorer scousers?

Will these projects "yuppify" the city center, and is that what the city really wants?

I guess I brought it mostly back on topic...
No mate it was by train. Although I used to amuse myself by having four (or so) pints at Waterloo and racing across crossroads in the middle of nowhere on the drive back from the station (no I didn’t. I made that up...).

City centre population was 23,000 in 2010 (and incidentally house prices 10% down - so much for those pointing the finger at ‘land bankers’). http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/...2534-26181823/

As for crime there's this http://www.ukcrimestats.com/Neighbou...ce/City_Centre but I think may be somewhat distorted (because it gives figures per capita of a population of 15,000 for the City Centre but there could be a quarter of a million people walking down Church /Lord Street on a Saturday afternoon)

Liverpool Waters proposes about 15,000 people in 9,000 dwellings but if you talk to their Development Manager about affordable housing I think he’ll give you a very old-fashioned look.



Yes I think designer-living in Dale Street is just what the city wants (and needs).
