Someone who lives on Beacon Hill or the Upper East Side I suppose. Yes, I think so. And most everyone else, too. Most people think that "real people" are people like them. I remember reading an article in the Post a couple of decades ago about some gentrification going on in Washington. The new residents were distressed about how noisy the old residents were. As a piece and quiet sort of person, I was sympathetic. But the article lead me to understand that, if you were born and raised downtown, you become accustomed to traffic and sirens and loud voices and that it's just as disconcerting for someone like that to be in the quiet of a tent in the woods as it is for me to be around all that racket. I think we are so wrapped up in our little worlds that we forget other people are oriented differently and, most important, that that's OK.
