NC communities, large and small, are catering to the younger, upwardly mobile or yuppie crowd. They are working to keep those folks within the communities they live and were educated, especially if a college is nearby.
These folks have no concept of the responsibilities of owning and maintaining a home. They mainly want to work, if they have a job, then go to places and hang out, entertain themselves, and see and be seen.

The real working and responsible folks that I know do not follow this crowd. It's a tale of two societial cultures within most communities here.
