How's crime in Linden?

It's not THAT bad. There are a good few alternate routes between Linden and Rosebank, although the road across the Emmerentia dam being closed for a few months is having a bit of a knock-on effect.

+50. Even getting to the CBD is a pain.

Thanks. That's exactly the type of info I was looking for.

And what about the whole Windsor East vs West thing?

Some people say Windsor is crap, while say Windsor East is crap, while Windsor West is decent.

If you want to feel like you're traveling in some African town, take a slow drive through Windsor approaching from the north. It just stops feeling like SA, even though you can still see Northcliff hill.

It is some African town. What, did you think the queen lives there or something?

I drove through windsor, and suddenly the car felt weird, they had stolen the mags while I was driving - all 4 at the same time. Luckily, I was also stabbed and didn't have to worry about driving the car back.

Also lucky that the stabbing didn't cause kidney damage because they removed the kidney for you?
 
Linden/Blairgowrie has had a recent spate of housebreakings and hijackings probably slightly higher than average. But wouldn't be enough to scare me away from the area permanently yet. One thing I will say is that the Linden SAPS, which used to have a good reputation, has gone downhill over the last 5 years. There have been several corruption and rape cases amongst them and in personal experience they have been less than useless - in one incident I had with seemed to be intent on abusing their power due to a personal allegiance. They have also done nothing to stem the tide of illegals swamping the streets of Randburg nor seem even mildly capable of combating the drug crime in Windsor.

The blair is getting much better with the advent of CSS, and the imminent advent of fibre on which CSS will be allowed to install cameras.
