[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]>There are legit “townies” with DUIs, eight kids, no college, pick ups, and they become grandparents in their late 30s

Is this issue here that your kids have to know and interact with "regular" Americans? Like that would be so bad?[/quote]

Lol.  Apparently there are no locals in Westchester.  Only if you slum it in New Jersey or Long Island do you have to deal with the low life riff raff "locals".[/quote]

There are townies in Rye, low income people in Bronxville apartments, and Port Chester exists. Mount Kisco is ruining Fox Lane. Happy now?[/quote]

I knew someone who lived in a Bronxville apartment. They were low income by Bronxville standards but still quite high income, white collar professionals with one having an Ivy degree. Not everyone who goes to top schools pursues high paying degrees, but they might still want an excellent education for their child so find a way to make it work. It is not easy being the "poor folk" in town but in a case like this, the gap is not as huge as if they were in the Westchester equivalent of NYCHA or something like that (which the government is trying to get all of these rich towns to build, which would be a nightmare for all parties involved).[/quote]

I guess you're living in a nightmare because horror of horrors, there are public housing developments in Westchester county.[/quote]

I know that. And I am probably more liberal and supportive of such things than you. But planting some of these developments in some of the places they are suggesting planting them is an awful idea. It needs to be done more intelligently and thoughtful. Otherwise you are setting the people who move into them up to fail.

Shouldn't have opened that can of worms...[/quote]
