That doesn't seem to be a generalized fit for the people in Cary. Cary is known for being a place for families, not so much young professionals. Young professionals who enjoy the urban life and its cultural attractions are most likely interested in areas other than Cary, such as Raleigh and Durham.
Agreed. I'm aware of quite a larger number of homes in the mil plus category that were bought straight cash in Cary.
Exactly. I'm not sure where that borrowed money comment came from. I guess some people ASSUME that if they see a middle aged family living comfortably that they have larger mortgages, etc. That simply is not true.
I've lived in Cary in the past, and found it nice. I think the reason people like to pick on Cary is because many (note: I didn't say most, or all) people there have a sense of superiority in relation to the rest of the Triangle. Those people are much more fun to pick on.

"young professionals, earning good pay, enjoying the cultural attractions of sophisticated urban life and thought"
"Yuppie" was a 1980s term, as Mike says, that people still use but not in its original sense. Nowadays, I think it is used as a more general "upper-middle-class keep-up-with-the-Joneses" type, who are not necessarily "young" nor "urban". IT's a fairly derogatory put-down of a certain caricatured lifestyle. And yes, this caricature is very similar to the way Cary is often embodied.
But I've never head the "Y" in Cary used to stand for "Yuppies".
Lived in Cary for 15 years and love it. But I am married have 3 children and am generally home in bed by 11:00. If I was still young and single Cary would not be my first choice, but downtown Raleigh is only 15 minutes away!
