Well I&#x27;m new to the city and I&#x27;d feel like it would be plainly disingenuous of me to pretend I know what&#x27;s going on. I&#x27;m here to support my family, learn, and experience this incredible area. I&#x27;m aware of the arguments in the culture battle and I am, of course, against gentrification and the loss of cultural identity. I will vote accordingly to try and fight that. However, I have a similar attitude as you (and the &#x27;we&#x27; you&#x27;re referring to) - I don&#x27;t want or need your approval.<p>And it bears repeating, I haven&#x27;t experienced any of this at all. I have only encountered nice people.
