I'm a hard working single full-time father of three who is so damn far from being rich, it's not even funny. Why, because I choose to live in EDH closer to my place of employment, am I classified as "rich"? I have to ask, are there Folsomites with an inferiority complex, or is it just bad jokes?
I think it has to do with all the upscale homes that have been built recently in EDH. I moved here (Cameron Park) in 1974 and I remember how EDH used to be. It was a nice, small, middle class town. Nothing snobby or pretentious whatsoever. The only thing there was Raleys and a gas station. It was never viewed as "a rich area" or an upscale place to live. I remember when Ridgeview was the only wealthy area there. In a way, EDH was a much nicer place then back.
It's too bad that average, hard working people have to be surrounded by the attitudes of those that think money makes them better than others. I used to shop at the EDH Raleys from time to time for a change of pace. I quit that. The attitudes there make me sick. I know not all people that are wealthy are like that, so I really don't like to stereotype. But I have a friend that lives in EDH that just put her home on the market to get away that town. She said it is just too pretentious for her. She's a divorced mother of 2 that works hard to make ends meet. She said the exact same thing, that people assume she's rich because she lives in EDH. EDH is a nice town, but I guess by living there people will assume you have money.
