Well, Backstreets are worse. You have the Sweepers, for one thing. A natural phenomenon of beings that "sweeps" the Backstreets at a certain time at night. If you're out there, you're good as dead. Gets rid of all the dead bodies, though.

[He talks about it like its just a bad weather formation, or something. A natural part of Backstreet life.]

I could go on and on. Either way, Backstreets people find themselves surviving at all cost, sometimes. People disappear all the time. You can even be turned into an experimental subject for a Corp if you're not careful. Nests at least have a semblance of a life. You can imagine how appealing that is.
