i'd much rather live in age-diverse neighborhood than one dominated by any single age cohort.
i want it all: the babies in strollers, the kids on the playground, the high schoolers smoking weed in the alleys, the college kids riding their fixies down the street, the young professionals fetching their ubers, the young parents going out for date nights, baby-boomers attending storefront theaters, the 80 year old grannies walking to church/synagogue/mosque.
that's one thing i love about my new neighborhood: while it's a little biased toward the young professional crowd, it still has a little bit of everything.
