Let me guess, you're not from the U.S.? This is a fundamental thing with U.S. cities, the nice parts and the shady parts are so close, just blocks from each other in parts. In other places (with welfare, wealth redistribution, and suchlike), the gradient between the nice and shady parts of town is so much more gradual.
