Having moved someplace where the general attitude seems to me* to be "we don't have a wrong side of the tracks, we're not barbarians after all" I'll vouch that being surrounded by this variety of patriotism is indeed pleasant.
* the indigenous view things differently: my wife (who has wild stories about her youth like being in the same city during the mass shooting) and I were going to an art opening run by the olympic organisation in our capital city, and directly in front of the venue she asked "can we park here? it's such a sketchy neighbourhood"; I wanted to grab her by the shoulders and shake her while yelling "WTF? sketchy? I've been broken down in NWA-era Compton, and this here reads to me as like, maybe, lower middle class?"
