That leaves 95% 95,000 residents that are "normal" (relatively anyway - all things considered) and in fact want to be good responsible neighbors. It is very hard for me to ignore that 5% - they can be very irritating.
Those numbers are fairly close. Take a cruise ship for example. If it can handle 4,500 passengers you can be certain they manage to locate 1,000 rude, entitled, and arrogant snobs to be on it with you. Best thing is you only have to put up with it few a few days!
