[quote=Anonymous]I'm generally not opposed to people hiring people to come to their house, eg cleaners or a piano teacher. In fact, having a gymnastics teacher come to your house can be cheaper than having to hire a babysitter to take your kids to the place, if you work. However, I think this whole 'do everything in your house' trend -- in-house hair salons, movie theaters, gyms -- is really damaging to social coherence. In theory, people of all colors and ages and religions and political leanings and income levels should be mixing in public spaces and even in for-profit establishments. It's a way for kids of different backgrounds to get to know each other. (Yeah I know that idealized mixing doesn't really happen much in upscale Bethesda but it's better than nothing.) Paying people to come to your house all the time just adds to the polarization of our society. [/quote]
