Nobody else getting an area/district other than where they live?

Kiwism?

What's up with Van? I thought you liked it there.

I do like it here but the noise is really beginning to annoy me. With twats riding harleys at 3am, unnecessarily loud fire engines, people shouting on the street at night - you can't get away from that downtown and I'm really fed up with it.

Oh, that makes sense.

I thought the neighbourhood was a bit ethnic and cramped these days! Not to mention the wave of golden-agers wandering about with their Zimmer frames these days. The comparison to "inner suburbs of TO" is hilarious.

The real "neighbourhood" is mostly young families (12 elementary schools and 4 high schools within 4 KM), 60/40 Anglo/French, homogenised white, horizontally mobile (2+cars in parkway, etc.), and probably agnostic (3 churches in 3km radius?). A small part of the burb is circa 1880 - but mostly post 1950 construction. Come to think of it, I did lie horribly on the last census .

Unless you move way out you cannot get away from it! We're out in the sticks and some twat of a neighbour has just bought his kids a couple of quads. They go up and down their property at all hours!

a new homesteader some of it kind of true for us, but not all, we dont have all the toys it mentions in the drive as much as OH would like them anyway

also not liking the middle age bit

never

Electronic Avenues

Young, upper-middle-class urban singles and couples

Tools and trucks.

"Their idea of a big night out is going to a family restaurant, browsing antiques stores or going shopping at Costco...

When they travel ... vans, trucks hauling campers and recreational vehicles".


Comprehensively wrong. Not only is this nothing like me, it's nothing like the neighbours either.

Suburban Gentry

Neither status have I ever aspired to but both together

Good grief! ... J scuttling off to look at MLS

Newcomers Rising, apparently.

Apparently I spend my money on nightclubs, trips to taco restaurants and outlet malls, and I place a great deal of importance on my appearance.

This doesn't gel at all with my neighbourhood. Nor with me - I can barely be bothered to shave or brush my hair for work, let alone to go out for a slap-up meal in Taco Bell dressed in my finest factory seconds.

I always thought you were a cravat wearing, Leslie Phillips kind of guy. I hope you at least dress up to drive the Morgan!

I'm startled to find that a suburb I know passably well is characterized as:

Urbane Villagers

"Wealthy ... urban sophisticates"

"a prosperous world of stately homes and high-end cars"

Wealthy? Urban? Stately homes? Do me a favour.

Is the whole thing a wind up, I wonder.
