The fact that he chooses the hypothetical bad neighbor Cletus makes me think he's satirizing the people who consider "devoid of any visible or audible evidence of people lower class than me" a prerequisite of a "good " neighborhood. See also: Poe's Law.
That said, his point is totally valid. When you say "affordable" most upper middle class people hear "poor people".
- stronglikedan 7y ago> Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel Just wanted to point out that Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel is a character from The Simpsons who satirizes the type of person that people generally refer to as "hillbilly".
- dsfyu404ed 7y agoThat was the first person I thought of when he said Cletus. I didn't know that was his full name. TIL
