[quote=Anonymous]We have felt snobbery because we live in an apartment (purchased condo) WotP and not in a single family home. This is a choice we have made for lifestyle reasons, not for financial reasons. Still, the snobbery is there in our neighborhood....

At the same time, I have recently probably started to take part in the snobbery of rent vs. buy in our apartment building. This is not intentional snobbery as I have nothing against people who rent. But when my first child was born 7 years ago, we developed a great group of friends within our building that we really enjoyed. There were about 6-7 families that all spent time together and enjoyed one another and one another's kids.

Fast forward 5 years and all but one family left for the suburbs. I had failed to realize that they were all just renting units until they could move out and buy a single family home. It was so disappointing!

So, now, I honestly don't want to waste time on renters......too much energy to put in to neighborts relationships then to have them up and leave. I still try to be friendly to families who rent but don't invite them over etc. [/quote]
