Ironically, it&#x27;s the other way around. In the last few years, my wife and I have lived in New Rochelle, NY; Wilmington, DE; and Baltimore, MD. These cities are poor and have a heavily minority population. But they are also full of kids running around without a parent in sight. It&#x27;s the affluent Maryland suburbs where the yuppies are too paranoid to let their kids out of their sight.
