Is it possible for an article to be both revealing and unsurprising? I'd say so.
Check out this morning's interesting piece by Victor Tine in the Daily News on how Newburyport's changed over the past 10 years. The numbers suggested our community - as measured by median values - is richer, older, more stable, better educated and owners of considerably more valuable homes.
With the exception of home prices and household income, the percentage increases were reasonable small. But all of this will confirm the belief of those who see the community becoming too upscale.
Anyway, great paper today.

Too upscale? What about the fact that 40% of households are at or near poverty? Or are those factors mutually exclusive?
