[quote=Anonymous][i]That would be lovely, if only it were remotely true. The urban core is largely where insecure, mostly white careerists who are afraid to be more than 10 minutes away from their current jobs have gathered. They have no qualms about displacing older, AA residents of the city, nor any reservations about engaging in cut-throat tactics to get their children into "desirable" schools and local charters. In larger numbers, their overwhelming sameness and smugness becomes almost unbearable. They talk a good game when it comes to matters of diversity, but are profoundly uncomfortable among those of lesser means. Their sanitized, Whole Foods version of urban life has redefined what it means to be "cookie-cutter" today. [/i] I'll be even blunter: I don't want to live near you. Period. If my presence displaces you from the street, I think it your movement away is an improvement among all dimensions. I think of you as no better than some hill-billy racist yokel. [/quote]
