That's a good a question. But it's hard to imagine what sort of locals inhabit this place?
The question also seems to operate on a consequentialist view of good and bad.
If the locals desire not do any harm, to steal, hurt, lie to anyone, this in my view would be a good thing.
Where as if the locals desired to do all sorts of bad things, like steal from their neighbors, but just haven't had the right opportunity to act up on it, then this would be a pretty bad place, even though they haven't acted upon their desires yet.
How very Orwellian of you.
