Living in the Hood

I suppose this kind of behavior is everywhere, but it's fairly prevalent in my neck of the woods. It's 10:45pm and the people down the street are hanging outside in their front yard, some of the adults sitting squashed on their minuscule cement front "porch." A car is parked sideways on the lawn, doors and windows open, blasting loud music with the inevitable pounding bass so many individuals are so fond of these days. Toddlers and kindergartners are running around, hollering. It's 10:45 on a Monday night. I know these people aren't thinking of their neighbors at all, that maybe the man next door has gone to bed early because he has to get up early to go to work, that maybe the guys across the street would like to enjoy a tranquil evening with books or their own music, that neighbors down the street (like me) have to work late on a project and need a quiet environment in which to concentrate. What kind of people are these that have no consideration for anyone around them? Why do they think it's acceptable to be so loud and obtrusive this late at night - actually, at any time of day? I don't understand this kind of ugliness. I guess you could say it's a different culture, a different way of living in the world, but, to me, it's just plain rude, crude and unattractive (as us middle class kids used to say when we were young and innocent in Canada).
