[quote=Anonymous]For all the “new” vs “old” I haven’t heard too many of my elder neighbors complain when their houses sell for $1M when they’re ready to retire. That’s the trade off of getting young people— you will get more young-people ideas. AND you’ll get people to invest in your schools and parks and keep your housing value high. If you only want the ideas of the over 50’s, there are retirement homes for that. My experience of a Falls Church neighborhood is my elderly neighbors want to coo over my baby in her stroller more than they want to discuss a school their kids haven’t been in on decades that my daughter won’t set food in for 13 years. The one time I was asked I said I would hate if she went to a school named for someone who vehemently opposed women’s suffrage in the 20s, for example, and my neighbor who is a very proud “Feminine Mystique Era” feminist talked my ear off about how much she loved the ERA. There’s plenty of cross generational accord.[/quote]
