Fair, I read it far more in the tone of the wealthy complaining about the poor than the poor complaining about their home and neighbors. From my initial perspective it comes off not as a view of frustration but of self elevation. We have the right to insult our peers and our homes, but it’s a dick move to insult those we don’t understand and someone else’s home, especially when you hold a lot of privilege over them.
Funnily enough I routinely complain about my neighbors trash habits, but it feels like it would be wrong in some social contract way to vent about it on the internet where those who’ve never lived somewhere where that’s a concern would see. But I think that comes back to having heard how nasty the upper middle class can get about it.
Agreed, and to be fair, I was assuming the opposite about the OP: that they are from one such community. If my assumption is wrong and yours right, I agree it's rather cringey to make such a comment.
