Is daily life that bad? I just had a look at Wikitravel and it sounded pretty nice. I was expecting warnings and stuff after reading this (like you get when reading about Mogadishu for example).

The totally unpredictable strikes (good luck trying to catch a flight at the airport during one, let alone do your daily shopping), roving extortion gangs, and torrential floods during monsoon complete with downed electric wires can be a bit of a drag.

(My mother's side of the family lives there, mother was born there and it's the address on my Pakistani identity card. I visit every other year.)

No it's not that bad. Most places in city are like some areas of New York city more or less in terms of security. Surprisingly, people are more helpful and friendly in Karachi than in NYC.
