A common trait for many people, especially males, that usually grew up either in the inner city or hardworking rural environment. Average intelligence, common sense, lack of interest in reading, ability to fix most anything without needing an instruction manual, skill at handling difficult people, and a refreshing lack of personal warmth are typical traits. People who lack street smarts usually grew up or live in the suburbs, work a white collar job, regular churchgoers, stay in their personal protective cocoon, shelter their kids, and hire people to fix their things.

Get the street smartsmug. A surveillance device attached to the side of your home without your consent. Smart meters ( or digital recording anmeters ) record and transmit via cell phone signal all the account holder's family activities relating to electricity use. Smart meters allow utilities to spy on your hydro use hour by hour, showing peaks and dips in energy consumption as little as 0.1 kwh. In Canada some utilities are sharing this personal info with local police departments without a warrant. ( a clear violation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms )
Good Samaritan: Damn the cops raided my house and cut down my 5 marijuana plants.
Other Good Samaritan: Bummer how'd they know?
Good Samaritan: Lousy hydro utility gave them a year's worth of my smart meter data without a warrant.
