The Earth city closest to the neutral zone mostly has the poorer werewolves who have to fend for themselves and aren't really willing to help others. If you go in the direction of the swamp, the soil will be much better, so there will be a lot of farming going on. People have more food than they can possibly need and are generally happy and kind. If you walk towards the mountains instead, these cities have the classy folks, like royals and the really rich ones.
