Exact opposite experience for me. When people have nothing, they have no buy-in, and give no craps about what their neighborhood is like. They’re too busy dealing with their “real problems” to care if someone is robbing a house right in front of them.

Wealthier neighborhoods tend to have massive buy-in from the residents, because who wants to lose something that nice?

Point being: the experience is best when avoiding extremes. Poverty and incredible wealth both lead to issues in a neighborhood.
