Genderization....

....have even seen it in my own neighborhood. When we got this tiny coastal home, some three decades ago, then as a summer home, our neighbors typically were self sufficient working class. Indeed, that was a big attraction to our proletarian sensibilities and backgrounds. But thanks to the rapid growth in wealth inequality, and an estate agent class willing to exploit such, our neighbors are now typically very well heeled, with attitudes to match. Long ago, folks here did much for themselves. House maintenance, sewing clothes, gardening and "putting up" food for winter,--- even their own roofing, plumbing and electrical work. Most newbies couldn't swing a hammer, or turn a wrench, if their lives depended on it, which incidentally may happen in our lifetimes. Often, the new arrivals hail from Manhattan, or Californicateya, bought a bungalow/rent control place after the War for peanuts, and sold it more recently for the obscenely big bucks, with which ocean property here can be had for much less. Added benefit, escape from the deterioration in quality of life in the old haunts, with recent democrat led demographic shifts. And it all sems to be a worldwide phenomenon, with local cultural nuanced differences, with realtors still very much in tow, but also abbetted by Air B'n B and Uber. Hopeless, but perhaps not serious.
