I don't think there is a point, just a question. Possible answers:

1. Yes
2. No
3. It was cleaned up long ago
4. It was never scary to begin with

Me neither. Strange question though.

I would imagine the population demographic is pretty much the same as before.

Maybe a few new immigrants, and owners of "luxury apartments". Some babies have been born.

Is the Olympics taking place in east London?

I pressume the people who are not scared there had armoured cars and bodyguards

A completely valid question and thread. What kind of measures have been taken to clean up that dumpy place? You understand that you can't have olympics in a slummy and distressed neighborhood.
