The vast majority of people I come across are fine. Quite a few are excellent. Maybe it's partly because I've spent most of the past few years in a college town, and I do feel very lucky to be where I am right now, but even when I've gone to supposedly bad areas, where friends were seeing a couple drive by shootings per week, virtually everyone has been kind to me. I remember walking on certain streets around Oakland, California and having prostitutes on the street show genuine concern for my well being, telling me what areas to avoid. Of course there have been times when someone has been "not so nice", but that's well under 1% of the people I come across.
