Just noticed something...
Going past this town in the UK (proper working class area), I noticed that people go out more... Pensioners walking dogs, kids playing kerbie in the street, people talking to friends, teenagers plucking up the courage to talk to the opposite sex etc. You actually see people on the streets.
Contrast this with when the bus travelled through the affluent treelined suburbs. Not a soul in sight. Not even someone walking on the pavements.
Why?
Surely it can't be the fear of crime - this would actually be lower in the suburbs
(UK question - don't know if it's the US is the same).
