I have strong feelings about this one. Whenever there's an emergency -- a traffic accident, a kid trapped in a burning house, a cat stuck in a tree -- who comes running to help? Lawyers and hedge fund managers? Nope. It's always roofers and forklift operators. For that particular item, I'll always vote blue collar.
I have to disagree with this, based on one anecdote. When stopped at a traffic light in an upscale urban area, my car and several others were hit by a reckless driver. People stopped cars, got out and came over to see if anyone was hurt and offered to call police and serve as witnesses. A young guy on a bike with a nice camera offered to take photos and stay until police arrived. I appreciated it a lot.
Consider the fellow who never mows his lawn, where the grass and weeds have turned to saplings, where deer bed-down and trees uprooted by Hurricane Ike (2008) have yet to be cleared away, and parlous wrecks from decades past spill out between the trees, as tired sentinels neglecting duty. Our hero bathes not every week, goes to his mailbox nude, and treats his house as rancid dump, not owning broom or vacuum cleaner. But he's fluent in multiple languages, holds a PhD from one of America's finest universities, has written some 100 papers. His library at home sports thousands of books, most of which he's read, a couple of which he's written. What is his "class"? What sort of neighbor, this - a miscreant, or darling.
I know where to find that neighbor.
In Barnes & Noble. Specifically, in the Fiction aisle.
I bought a vacation home in a upper end area. I have the psycho neighbor from he$$.
and that's a problem if they have lawyer money they can sue you just as a nuisance to harass you.
Middle class people are friendlier and more down to earth.
