Family-Friendly Front And Center

At least, I think that the family-friendly feel is quite prominent in Gilbert; that's why I have to say I disagree with the headline and opening premise of this article in the AZ Republic:

That family-friendly feel becoming faded memory

Government and home-building industry leaders agree that a booming real estate market is keeping the kind of buyers out of Gilbert that gave the town its family-friendly feel.

The article goes on to talk about the increasing housing prices in Gilbert, and the lack of affordable housing. And then the reporters state the conclusion that young homebuyers looking to raise a family are being shut out. I'm sure that some young folks indeed cannot afford Gilbert's current prices. But who do they think is buying in Gilbert? Older, childless, wealthy folks? Have they not strolled through any of the Morrison Ranch neighborhoods and seen the young families? Or do they notice them but think that young families who are able to afford to live here are not the kind of buyers that give Gilbert its family-friendly feel? I'm sorry, that headline and first paragraph just don't sit well with me. If they want to write another article on the high housing prices, fine. Just don't diss my great neighbors, young AND old.
