Because certain groups of elites that self-select into a neighborhood share a collective social disease that ruins their children.
Possibly they should pay to foster their children into more middle class neighborhoods and schools.
Just because upper-class enclaves exist as goals to lure the beguiled doesn't mean they're actually utopias.

- selimthegrim 11y agoI remember reading about newly upwardly mobile African American parents in the suburbs insisting their children spend parts of the summer with their relatives and grandparents on the other side of the tracks just for this very specific reason. I wonder how much of a community there is that offers a level for these kids to feel engaged in (below PTA level) outside of their professional performance.
