No, 'your naive.' I don't know you from Adam, but I know downtown LA is
very unpleasant at times. It almost seems neglected, forgotten. All those
official things are there, the sports club is there, and the shops have
arisen presumably to serve those who work there. I know grown men who
prefer not to stay in that area even if it is more convenient.

What you forgot is that some members of this group like people to be what
they consider ordinary. Anything that is differerent seems to bring down
the spite from some denisens. The fact that ordinary is different things
under different circumstances is not important.

The moment I read that if you didn't have such a long truthful record one
would think you were bragging about your clothes, I knew someone thought you
were bragging about your clothes.
