Because it got raped of all it's natural resources by english profiteers, and when they were all exhausted, it was just callously discarded and left to maintain an overblown population which had been drawn by the industrial growth! Do I sound bitter? You have your natural language and culture desecrated and driven almost to the point of (regional) extinction by men looking to make a quick buck and see how you feel?! But, getting back to the point, it ain't that bad really. I mean, you'd rather walk through merthyr than the bronx, right? Merthyr's just a cultural void, that's all.

I think its to do with its crime rate and the fact that it is supposedly one of the most economically deprived region in Europe.I say give it a cash injection and a clean up and the people will gain a bit of pride in their communtiy.It all stems back to the days when the valleys were the most prosperous places in Wales cos of all the coal.The mines went and there was little work to replace the jobs lost by the mining community.

If you go there you will know! In fact why only third? It was basically just a mining town and now that that industry has finished, there is huge unemployment, and it is ugly with the endless rows of terraced houses, despite being so close to the Brecon Beacons.
