Both to acknowledge the good, and address the wrongs in a positive way. I definitely think something needs to be done about it though.

In grad school, my wife took a health and public policy class and since we were the next neighborhood over from the school, people would frequently use us as a convenient reference point. Apparently we lived in some sort of war zone with no access to groceries, medications, or any other modern suburban amenity. None of these were true, but no one was going to take the time to drive across the street to see what life was really like. So I hear your frustrations.
