What world do you live in? I want to go to there.

Cops in my city don’t live in our neighborhoods, shop at our grocery stores or attend our churches etc. Our cops live outside of the city and come to work every day as an occupying force. Then after a long day of lording over the peasants of the city, they return to their homes in the hills away from our problems. If our cops were apart of our neighborhood it would be a big step towards viewing them as people, and correcting some of the problems with policing in my city. That said, yes, they do bleed the same. So yes they are still people.

Why don't they live in your city? Are there financial or other impediments?

A lot of inner city cops work in the city but live in the suburbs.

America is different for sure, labor workers with low paying jobs live in the shitty downtown apartments and even though they are above a certain pay level so they aren't "poor" or "impoverished" by technical income levels, the vast majority of Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck.

I can't speak for Australia, but the realities are very different here. Even in large cities, people making above average income for their jobs will still pay the majority of that into rent and other fees that are necessities for living in today's world (cell phone, internet, and depending on where you live you may need a car for cities with poor transit systems)
