Seems like the rich communities have the most problems...

I could be wrong, but in all the episodes I have so far watched, it seems like most of the stories have involved people who have lived in upper class communities. I am not embarrassed to say that I bought my first house two years ago and I had to move from a middle class community to a lower class neighborhood where people don't rally take care of their property and people who can be loud and who don't have much money. However, nobody bothers me. We all just go our own way and leave each other alone. You would think it would be the other way around. Funny, huh? You would think the trouble makers would be in the rougher neighborhoods. I guess they can be anywhere, but it seems like the people with the money can act however they want.

"Duh. You're the idiot. Not me."

I don't know about that theory.  I live in a very upper-class city, and NOTHING ever happens here! (Oh, I'm glad about that, believe me, but as my late mother always said, "it's as quiet as a cemetery around here!")

I think what I find the most bizarre/ridiculous is that you do see a lot of fairly wealthy families fighting with their neighbours over the tiniest portions of land. Like, seriously? You've got 2 feet at the end of your driveway that you're willing to murder for when the rest of your lot is massive? Unbelievable.

Well I know sometimes on these shows their lifestyles and homes are a bit exaggerated.

You're aware that people in lower class neighborhoods make up the vast majority of crime and homicides, right?

Watch the First 48 and see how many "upper class" people there are.

Well, the OP is sorta right. I have seen a lot of BS arguments in upper class neighborhoods...I've seen Lawyer vs. Doctor in Civil Court arguing over a fence, with both hiring expensive lawyers, etc...why? Because they have the money. And they feel entitled. I'm a Doctor I KNOW BETTER than YOU. I'm always right. And many people with money are older, like the 2 I've seen on this show, and quite frankly usually the older professionals have the most money...the one who killed his neighbors over the driveway BUT the wife had the phone on so 911 heard the whole thing. Course when cops came he claimed self-defense...but 911 had him shooting them in the back "time for you go to hell!" and honestly, if it weren't for that 911 tape he probably would have gotten away with it, I'm sure he thought he'd never be arrested....like I said they feel very entitled. And of course the one that got us so bent up over was the one in Michigan were the neighbor killed 4 people including two children, then killed himself. The young boy was hiding but he came in the house and killed him. And this guy, Paul Crawford, his kids are in silhouette on the show DEFENDING their dead POS father! Wow. Again, he was a bit older, he sounded like a real jerk...it's his way no matter what. Now, yeah most crime is in the poorest areas but do we really wanna watch shows about feuds in the hood? They just wouldn't be as interesting. They don't let it get that far. My wife started crying watching the end of that episode "Lake of death" or whatever...with Paul Crawford killing 2 kids and his own kids defending their dead POS dad on the show. But too scared to show their faces.

P.S. Would I still defend my dad? No. Not at all... he crossed a line killing the children, stalking them as they hid, not in a fit of rage..planned...I wouldn't even attend my dads funeral. Course, they said hardly showed for P. Crawford's funeral. Can't believe they still live there. What sacks of dung.
