Influx of Entitled Newcomers Upsets Community of Entitled Locals
“We bought our way into this community first,” say current residents.
Every spring, another wave of entitled newcomers move into Mill Valley, much to the dismay of the entitled people who already live there. “You see them everywhere, acting like they own the place,” said Jess Frinkel, who earned her stripes as a local by buying a home in much the same fashion. “What they don’t understand is, this is our town.” Witnesses say the newest arrivals in the town refuse to recognize the special status conferred upon individuals who put down roots in the community as many as several years earlier. But true old-timers like Beth Longley, an octogenarian whose family has been in Mill Valley, had a different perspective on the debate: “I hate them all.”
I posted a representation about this at a Facebook group called Lost Marin. It's amazing how few people there were able to process this level of satire. Dozens. It became an opportunity for people with a sense of entitlement to project their sense of entitlement, unembarrassed and totally unconscious of the irony.
