Well look at you.

My main point is that the negative or scary perceptions people have of poor neighborhoods shouldn't be projected onto them being poor. That's not what it's about.

If you go to most of the rural or undeveloped parts of Africa, most of those people will take you into their homes if you need help for any random reason. This is from the mouth of someone who has been there, my father. Try doing that in Beverly Hills.


Rich people, on the other hand, are entitled no matter WHERE in the world you go.

Downtown Norfolk was way scarier for me. I never felt threatened in Richmond, ever. Even in the crappy areas. There was still crime, though. My sister had her bike stolen twice. Assholes sawed through the chains.
idk, Norfolk struck me as more business-y and commercial than Richmond; Richmond is like dilapidated industrial shit with two main commercial centers and sprawling poor areas.
