Gee, was it like the place you moved away from? ;) 

Sorry, but people who say things like that generally don't live in the
place/town any longer or attribute the actions of a few to the intentions
of many.

There's plenty of people who would say much the same about Cary - Don't 
live in Cary, it caters to pushy yuppies with SUVs and too many children. 
Of course, don't believe people until you've had a chance to check it out 
yourself - unless you have no need to make up your own mind about things.
