Residents of Racially Diverse Neighborhoods are More Likely to Help Others [psmag.com]

I had some very positive experiences in the Southeast Bronx, when I visited my [then] girlfiend who lived there. I was initially surprised to learn that Pediatricians and Internal Medicine resident physicians [from Lincoln Hospital] made "House Calls" in that neighborhood--in spite of the 100,000 Heroin Addicts who resided in an area where 85 % of the Housing was 'sub-standard or deteriorated', and was served by a Police Precinct Station known as "Fort Apache", yet where some 'neighbors' and shop-keepers knew me by name, and 'helped' me, as did I them.
