There seems to be an entitlement some people have when moving to a new location that it should conform to who they are individually. This is a part of tha problem with urban gentrification. Tha price of living goes through tha roof, and tha native of said place is often driven out. Tha lack of respect is undeniable from pushes for city ordinances to rude behavior towards native, and there is tha dreadful fear that someone just moving in is going to call tha cops on someone whose family has lived in tha neighborhood for generations. It better to know what culture you are about to enter and ask yourself is it for you. Would you want a place that is home to your family, by which you are rooted, to treat you like you are tha outsider? If the answer is no, why should others lay down for such treatment?
I see this often in my native New Orleans. My city is known for its culture: the music, food, festivals and jovial atmosphere. Tha culture of the city is very easy to research, or one can visit for one of the many different events going on in the city to get a feel for the environment and its people. It’s not the best place to live if you crave a quiet environment. There is music, 2nd lines, and chatter everywhere. Festivals are had all year long, and Mardi Gras is a huge party that lasts for days. If you think it’s stupid this isn’t the best place for you. Why should we have to change tha very culture of our neighborhoods for newcomers to feel comfortable? Why should the 2nd line parades end because someone new doesn’t understand tha culture, and think its stupid? That kind of thinking is beyond me.
