[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]@13:54 - this language is meaningless. What are you really trying to say?[/quote] That browbeating someone with "OMG the kids here have it so much worse than YOUR first world problems, you should just shut up" (which is not precisely what was said above, but I think amounts to the same thing) is basically going to drive many (not all, but many) new families away. In the suburbs if they don't want sugary yogurt for their kids, or TV, there is at least a chance they will taken seriously - they may not win, but they won't be guilted into shutting up. There are already enough factors pulling families to the suburbs, this could be the straw that breaks the camel's back for some. And I find the narrative of misguided, elitist, uncaring, liberal gentrifiers profoundly unhelpful, and unfair to people who are so different, in a good way, from the mass of upper SES parents.
