What would you say?
Streetwise, possibly backed up with Urban Survival as a complementary skill. Streetwise explicitly is not just for criminals; it's for "everybody that was ever hanging out," as Bob Dylan put it long ago, and more generally for knowing how to make the right impression in the informal parts of society.
