I wanted to barf yo.
Open house had a raw bar and champange. Drop off is alway high end cars with drivers. ********** "Everyone has a plan until you punch them in the face. Then they don't have a plan anymore." (c) Mike Tyson
i hate what it's doing to cities. all you're doing is telling poor people to be poor somewhere else. you're shuffling the deck instead of improving lives.

I don't think I've ever seen a more articulate 8 year old lol... Did the ending imply that she got in to Avenues? I sure hope so. Kids got a bright future
Doc did a great job showing the view from both sides. I didn't end up hating the rich kids as much as I'd expected. Many of them showed an understanding of their privilege and how it affects a person's life trajectory.

and as for those rich kids, I'm reminded of that Chris Rock quote on white people from a couple years back
"Here’s the thing. When we talk about race relations in America or racial progress, it’s all nonsense. There are no race relations. White people were crazy. Now they’re not as crazy. To say that black people have made progress would be to say they deserve what happened to them before. So, to say Obama is progress is saying that he’s the first black person that is qualified to be president. That’s not black progress. That’s white progress. There’s been black people qualified to be president for hundreds of years. If you saw Tina Turner and Ike having a lovely breakfast over there, would you say their relationship’s improved? Some people would. But a smart person would go, “Oh, he stopped punching her in the face.” It’s not up to her. Ike and Tina Turner’s relationship has nothing to do with Tina Turner. Nothing. It just doesn’t. The question is, you know, my kids are smart, educated, beautiful, polite children. There have been smart, educated, beautiful, polite black children for hundreds of years. The advantage that my children have is that my children are encountering the nicest white people that America has ever produced. Let’s hope America keeps producing nicer white people."

Those 16 year olds sounded like assholes.
