Well I was pretty clear that I was talking about when my girls were young, which is between 15-20 years ago. I do think we have more NYC uniformed workers than your area does (I THINK), which has an impact. Many, many of the dads at that time were firefighters or police officers who worked funky shifts and had second jobs. It was also possible then to have a nice house in a nice area with that one income. Not so anymore, that’s for sure!</p>
