NC communities, large and small, are catering to the younger, upwardly mobile or yuppie crowd. They are working to keep those folks within the communities they live and were educated, especially if a college is nearby.

The real working and responsible folks that I know do not follow this crowd. It's a tale of two societial cultures within most communities here.
