As mentioned above, there are "pockets" in every town, filled with low-life dirt-scum as these kids are. But, surprisingly, there are low-life dirt scum in high-end, gated communities here.
SoFLA is different. One block = $1,000,000 homes. Two blocks in another direction? Ghetto (see: Coral Gables & Coconut Grove).

Danny; Could be. We'd land in FTL at 2am, and have to drive to an offsite hotel. Red lights along FedHwy were like stop signs.
MIA was even worse at that time of night between airport and I-95. Gangs had changed the direction signs to lead 'unsuspecting' to a dead end street, and rob them there. By the time I realized what had happened, I had to bounce one off the hood (at about 40MPH) of the rental to get the rest's attention. I think Avis waived the deductable for that one.
Seniority made it much easier to turn down overnights in South Florida and Delaware.
