One of the big reasons you see more traditional families down there is because a bunch of elite private schools opened. Leman Prep, Blue School, Pine Street School, etc. Also, the public schools are some of the best in the city.

A guy I went to college with got a job teaching woodworking on Wall St. to kids in one of those school's art programs. So every morning he was getting off the same subway trains as the hedge fund guys, but to make wooden toys with kids.
