No doubt the parents in Kent wish that they could be parents on Mercer Is. Of course the difference is a
couple hundred more thou per year, and few of the
denizens of Kent make that kind of nut.

Yeah, but I’ve lived in both places. It’s not about the money, though sometimes the two go hand in hand. I think of it this way: Are the poor, poor because they are of low moral standards, or are the poor of low moral standards because they are poor.
Sometimes money brings responsibility, and other times responsibility brings money. But it really is true that if you don’t have money, but are responsible, you will find yourself living around “more” irresponsible people than if you have money, so the cops lump you in with the neighborhood in which you live.
IOW, if one of the “responsible people” from Mercer Island went to an event in Kent and pulled out their crystal glasses for a spot of Cabernet, they will be arrested.
