This subject had been bothering me quite a few years so I want to get it off my chest.
Here in Ettalong on the central coast of NSW, I am situated in a somewhat low socio economic area with a section of well to do retirees and other folks in fancy looking homes while others have a very rough looking appearance to them living in cheap units and rental properties. I live in a fairly busy street during the day close to a small retail strip with some restaurants near by and I constantly get an unfriendly insular vibe from the locals here. Many who pass by our place look in and scrutinise you, often with negative body language that I can't put a finger on and many, especially the younger crowd have a snarky expression on their faces and suddenly stop talking as they walk past.
It's a very pretty area spoiled by bad hostile vibes Fein people. There seems to be a lot of drunkenness on a Saturday night from young people going to and from the pub (not my scene at all) and just this mean insular word weird vibe many people. A lot flout the rules openly by riding their bikes on the footpath without helmets, speeding in their cars, loud exhausts etc.
I haven't felt threatened but the faces of people around here just look hostile a lot of the time and it builds up inside. Even nearby localities feel better, though less than ideal as well.
