If country clubs ever contributed positively to social fabric they have hidden this phenomenon very well.

It sure as hell ain't worse.

Anyway, the "high rent" bit makes me reject it wholesale. This was targeted at yuppies, not the people excluded from country clubs. Who gives a shit about yuppies (including us all): they can buy whatever they need.
