I assume you meant for the safety of the canned prole to avoid the bad
neighborhood.

I also assume there's much more opportunity for money-making if the
software prioritizes the richest proles to be available to the worst of the
bad neighborhoods.

Once the pattern of robbing the rich is established, you can also sell
protection to the rich from the software you've written that feeds them to
the poor.  It's definitely a racket.
