[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]Exactly how many "I hate gentrifiers" threads do we need? Here is how these discussions go:

Transplants are boring and turning the city into the suburbs.

Natives are all lazy criminals who couldn't develop themselves out of a wet paper bag.

How many different ways do you need to say those exact same things? The amazing thing is that no matter how creative you get, you will always be wrong. Generalizations about either group will never be accurate.

If you are a native and you don't like the changes, I'm sorry. Insulting DCUM posters is not going to make things better. If you are a transplant and don't have respect for natives, I'm also sorry. But, insulting DCUM posters is not going to make things better.

I am not a native.

The city has become cookie cutter in a disgusting kind of way.[/quote]

Again, a generalization is almost always going to fail. Can you really truly say that about the entire city? I don't think you can. [b]I think such a perception must come from having a very limited view of things. What may be true for a few limited areas is not true everywhere.[/b]

The locals' "change is bad" mentality is abhorrent and unreasonable; which is why no one takes locals seriously.

I take locals seriously. I take locals very seriously. Why would you not? [/quote]
