The Myth of the "Good Neighborhood"

Okay, I had to add this one in-we'll get back to #2 of Kary's 6 Combat Principles tomorrow-but this is important so pay attention.

My neighborhood I'm sure is like most middle class areas-good parts and bad parts.
This got me to thinking-peoople who come up in bad neighborhoods have a certain sense about them that most folks in mioddle class areas don't have. The most dangerous neighborhoods in my opinion are those areas that are good areas but have certain sections that are just starting to "get bad." You know these areas, the ones with pockets of apartments that are "shady" or other areas where crime rates are high in town. Why do i say this? Easy. Bad areas have high crime-people who live there know this, so they are more vigilant. Rich areas have gated communities and private security services, house alarms and big fences. Crime does happen, however, not nearly as much, mostly by rich little pissants who have nothing better to do and whose mommy and daddy spoon feed them. Middle class areas are nice enough to keep people's minds at ease but still have the opportunity for criminal elements to begin filtering in, namely in the lo-income apartment complexes, breeding areas for drug activity.

It's for that reason that the working class/middle class areas are in the most danger-they're still pretty nice, which makes people think, "well, y'know, my neighborhood is good, no crime here." What they should be thinking is 'I have a nice neighborhood and good neighbors, but I'm always aware of who's around me."
