This exactly... my friends live in the city and make the same amount of money as me. Pay 50% more for a house and pay for private school, an additional 20K a year.
Just to be closer to some nice restaurants? No thanks. my suburban life is quite and close to starbucks, Im satisfied.
- cloudjacker 10y agoYou miss the idea, no fact, that the people in the city scoff at the idea of considering Olive Garden a fancy meal
- MisterBastahrd 10y agoThen people in the city are assholes for scoffing at the poor, because nobody in middle-class and up suburbia thinks that Olive Garden is fancy.
- brightball 10y agoFunny story. I'm from a smallish town with an average income of about 40k / year and it was MAJOR news when they finally got an Olive Garden. Apparently there is some strict criteria that Olive Garden uses to place their restaurants and whenever the city finally qualified it was a huge thing for economic planners, all over the paper. My dad called to tell me about it.
- MisterBastahrd 10y agoYeah, and they do the same thing when a McDonald's opens in a town for the first time. It doesn't mean they think it's "fancy."
