Whilst things are certainly not perfect, the socio-economic profile of the Melbourne western suburbs has really stepped up a notch in the last few years. Look at Footscray and Sunshine.

Consistently labeling our beloved shopping heartland with a term like "knifepoint" isn't doing anyone any favours. If you think you're going to get assaulted or stabbed there then I feel sorry for you, because it's ridiculous.
Im sorry, I didn't know I was involved in a discussion on socioeconomics or demographics, I thought I was on a transformers forum. The fact you took what a random person said on the internet seriously is ridiculous.

You have no idea who I am, for all you know I may know someone who actually was stabbed there. I could have been stabbed there - would that make it ok to call it kifepoint then? For the record, I call it that occasionally purely for humor value. I've lived in Altona my whole life. I visit hp weekly. I don't fear for my life when I go there. I've worked there in the past. I've used alternate names for many suburbs for the humour value. Hell, most of what I say is said for the humour value - Many people on here (and most of whom I've met in person) would say the same of me. If you don't find it funny, so be it. You want to give me your opinion? Send me a PM, don't derail a thread by getting on your high horse.
