Oakville, Ontario: 139 squared kilometres of yuppiness surrounded by reality.

Personally I wouldn't want to live there either, but I do have close friends in Oakville, and it does seem like a decent place for a family (half the crime rate of the city and space is a lot more affordable).
Now I'm really confused by the Yuppie designation of these suburbanites. Isn't a Yuppie a young urban professional seeking social status? That's nothing like the soccer mom's that run rampant in these communities.
If you're an urban dweller making (what could be seen as) frivolous alcohol purchases, isn't that bit like calling the kettle black?
If you want to degrade the upper-middle class which has now moved out of the city, you need another term! Maybe Young Upper Middle-class Suburbanites... or Yummies for short.
Why should the Yummy only apply to the Mummy?

LOL. Derek - you're taking my one-liner WAY too seriously. I was making the facetious point (tongue firmly planted in cheek) that only rich Oakville suburbanites can afford $17 sixers of a mid-strength, locally brewed ale. It was more a criticism of the confusing price point than a serious commentary on social status. But you're right - yummy is the better term!
