75062

Had to look up the 3rd through 5th codes. That was an apartment we lived in for six months, a PO Box when we were in college(no mail delivery to our campus housing), and an apartment we lived in for about 14 months after graduation. Since then I’ve lived in two different homes in the 75062 area.

Enjoy,

America’s middle class is very mobile. In fact, maybe to the country’s detriment. It’s the central argument of a book called The Big Sort: Why the Clustering of Like-Minded America Is Tearing Us Apart. The author theorized that people move to communities of interest and there the feedback loops distort our own views and squelch dissent, so we become “red” or “blue”, “right” or “left” and tolerance/diversity suffers. It’s interesting.

Enjoy,  
Steven
