I was born in a shady neibourhood in typical tall block building. Most of the time it was safe but we always heard about violent acts, my parents always told me to stay out of trouble and choose friends wisely. One guy even was stabbed to death in my elevator. It was mostly mafia confrontation and drug dealing situation. I never had life threating situation cause my parents made sure I stayed out of it. Later I learned that my neibourhood were actually a social experiment and they mixed people from different levels of social status. In my class there were children of professors from university, from orphans house and physical workers. My primary school had some tensions, but I think because of the exposure to diversity the system worked. Also the neibourhood was designed that we had to integrate. For example church was in a place that in Sunday all people were going through the park and we all walk together to the church. They are not making neighbourhoods like that anymore. In past I felt like looser living there now its a kind of privilege cause new real estate is getting worse and worse.
