Exactly my point. Exactly why I would rather be the poorest in a middle class neighborhood than the richest in a poor neighborhood. When I lived in the city, they neighbors had a bad attitude about certain things. Now that I live outside the city in a semi rural area I am around people whose attitude is better and I am learning things from them.
