What judgments do people make about the places you've lived in?

I’ve lived in San Francisco (where I currently live) and Las Vegas (where I was born and lived until I was 11). People make judgments about those places all the time.

San Francisco is nothing but hippies and people running around naked. And since it’s a big city, there’s violence around every corner! And Las Vegas is nothing but prostitutes everywhere and it’s no place to raise a child with all that sinful business going on!

SF: Since when are hippies bad? The gay pride parade comes once a year, and there’s only violence if you live in a bad part of the city. There are plenty good areas.

LV: Most residents of Vegas don’t live in the strip. It’s a city just like anywhere else with suburbs, mansions, low-income areas, etc. There are plenty of kids there and plenty of people who turn out fine.
