I’m not coming up with anything generous to say about that agist statement. Why are “we” even trying to attract anyone of any “genre”? What is it about the current residents that just. isn’t. good. enough? Are we dying too fast? Eating too little? Not buying enough? Not having enough kids?

The growth-is-good mentality is becoming outdated. Yuppies aren’t going to change that.
