Really the only thing that I've seen make people go conservative is a few babies. So maybe you turn into a DLCer when you have kids?
The most likely response would be when you have kids and have to take out a six-figure mortgage that you can barely afford so that you can move to some sheltered suburban hellhole to raise them.
Interesting, because as a future good parent I plan to raise them in NYC.
Good luck with that. Seriously. It'll be a hard road.
As is any road with childrens. But, even given economic hardships and the challenges of the city, all would certainly be easier on me than hearing the same classist, racist crap come from their mouths like living in the suburbs caused to spew forth from my own at one point.
Upper East Side kids are less classist and racist than say, kids from Mount Vernon? I feel like white kids from NYC are more spoiled and snobby than people from almost anywhere else in America.
