Inner City Suburbanites

I'm afraid I don't have much sympathy for suburbanites who suddenly decide that it would be fun to live in the heart of Houston, and then discover that the heart of the city can sometimes be a loud and vibrant place quite unlike The Woodlands, Cinco Ranch, and other bland, lifeless, stifling suburban "master planned communities" outside of Houston.

I used to live right across the street from Cecil's Pub on West Gray. When I was thinking about moving there, I suspected that some nights, I would probably hear noise from the bar. I even suspected that some nights, I would hear patrons leaving after the bar closed. I was right. And ya know what? It didn't bother me, because that's what one expects when one moves across the street from a bar.

People who move from the suburbs (like Billy A-Hole) and expect the inner city to be just like the suburbs are annoying.
