Why is it better to live up on the hill in valley woods?

It is better to live on the hill in Valley Woods, because only people that are poor (that the government knows about) live down among the lake along the flood plain. It would be very foolish to establish ones residence here, but that does not stop some ignoramus' from doing so, *coughcoughcough*Michael Banfield*coughcoughcoughcoughcoughcoughcoughcoughcoughcoughcough**cough*
