As for dirty hippies on the street selling pot, I have a better reason for not wanting to live there than just not exposing my kids to it. I don’t personally want to see dirty hippies on the street selling pot. I like my sidewalks scum-free. If my kids want drugs, they’ll have to get them at school, not on my clean, pleasant downtown streets.
I think that’s the difference between myself and a lot of people: I like a certain amount of grit in my neighborhoods. Or at least am not bothered by the occasional skeeveball piddling under my window.[/quote]
