Only gradually did I realize the benefits of this. People here do seem to be more giving than elsewhere, and perhaps the Sun's propaganda that good deeds are normal, is part of the reason. I have surprised myself by how good I feel when I help others.
Other local news sources provide balance, including one that is relentlessly criticizes the developer and supported stridently anti-developer candidates for local elections. So you can find out every important (or salacious) event.
I remember reading that many elderly Poles looked back with nostalgia to communism, appalled by the free press attention to crime and corruption. Fortunately the developer does not have the power to prevent you finding out about their imperfections, which no doubt helps to keep them from becoming more imperfect.
To me the bottom line is that their hard work provides me with a better life than I could lead elsewhere, and if their lives are even better, that's OK with me.
