See this is what elites don't understand, when you don't bother enforcing and protecting poor neighbourhoods or low level crime (vandalism, mugging etc), when the criminals view bigger targets or just think there's nothing good to rob in their area so move to the rich neighbourhoods, the public at large will turn a blind eye since if they aren't helped, why should they assist them.

Even Mafias caught onto this, it's why they kept lower level criminals in check as if they ensured the streets were safe, people where more likely to turn a blind eye to all their activities. Combine that with a growing sense of a decline fast approaching, I'd switch buying luxury cars and watches to guns and armoured vehicles.
