How to use "Mean streets" in context?
From a young age, we are brainwashed into thinking that the streets are the place where bad things happen. It only takes one bad experience, one instance when we feel vulnerable or scared, for us to associate the streets with danger. The stories we aretold all too often frighten us, painting a bleak picture of the street as a place where trouble lurks, where predators wait to attack. As a result, we are reluctant to go outside, to be in public, for fear that something bad will happen to us.
But the reality is that the street isn't all bad.
