[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’d be surprised how close-knit and protective working class communities can be. There’s a lot of checking up on neighbors and family friends as they age. [/quote] This. I grew up poor in a lot of rough neighborhoods. Even the bad kids, drug dealers, or what have you knew to stay off of Ms. So and So's porch. People always sat out on their porches or their stoop, so even if someone came along who looked like they were up to something, the other neighbors would quickly intervene. A lot of them usually belonged to churches and were on the "sick and shut in" list, so congregation members would stop by from time to time especially around the holidays, Palm Sunday, or to take them communion. Their walkways were always shoveled and someone always cut their grass. [/quote]
