Sameness

 It seems that people prefer to live in neighborhoods where everyone else is like them.  Their idea of safety might be a factor.  But I liked the neighborhood where I grew up because we had all kinds of people with very different types of work.  We had blue collar, and white collar, stay at home and go to office moms.  We had the mailman and the fireman and the TV producer.  So I did not look down my nose at anyone as being less than me because of their work or lifestyle.  This can be the downside of suburban sameness, or city sameness for that matter.  The tendency can arise to judge people because they are different than your lifestyle.
