[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know that PP was joking about the long-time residents with SFHs vs. 27 year olds who just got their first job post-grad,  moved into a rental studio apartment, and wish they had "amenities" so their block isn't a "snoozefest."

But there's some truth to the tongue-in-cheek part about who has the power.   ANd it's patently false that this group "doesn't know how to use the internet."   Unless you're imagining that some of the biggest names in the legal world don't use computers, which would be stupid if you think about it.

Weirdly, as a long-time resident who is neither 27 nor 88 y.o., I kind of identified with that joke post.   You know what?  It's actually OK if not all historic parts of a city look exactly like Manufactured McTowns.   So that they're not ... what was it?  a "snoozefest" for temporary residents who are going to move on within 3 years regardless of the commerce available downstairs in their rental.

i'm not 27. i am an adult with a doctorate, a husband, a job, and two children. and yes, i moved out of cleveland park because it was boring and didn't have enough diversity of services, among other things it was lacking that make it not terribly[b] attractive to people who are not filthy rich and driving everywhere in a luxury car to and from a SFH.[[/b]/quote]

And therein lies the point. Consciously or not the activist who want to keep their prefect little slice of paradise in the city the way it is don't want this to change. In a way who can blame them.[/quote]
