The song is missing the inevitable next step - gentrification, where yuppies tear out half the walls and replace the painting above the mantel with a flat-screen TV. Then they paint it either all white or all beige.

The Onion recently had an article describing what happens to the local businesses: "Gentrified neighborhood consists entirely of cheese shops."

That makes sense. All you have to do with cheese is open the package and eat it. (Just like potato chips.) So while you are working long hours to pay for the renovation, your kids can just feed themselves.
