This is my favourite thing about the complex I live in (which Mazrim can confirm), we get our mail delivered right to our door, the million $+ McMansions on the west side of Elbow have to go to a community box. It gives me a nice smug feeling watching folks climb out of their BMW's/MB's to get their mail in the cold.
Yes, I am a horrible person, petty as well.

The "hipster-ish" questions are there to ensure the quiz-taker is classified correctly even if he/she does not live within a defined distance of the core. One can be a latte sipper without living in/near the inner city, afterall. For example, I have a friend who lives in Brentwood (clearly outside the "Peace Bridge radius") because she works at the University. She is most definitely not a yop gobbler. So the questions about the Folk Festival/Sled Island, New York Times crossword, supporting local coffeeshops, etc. are there to ensure she falls into the right category.
Likewise, I know a family who lives in an inner city neighbourhood, but they're still unquestionably yop gobblers. The questions about owning minivans/SUVs, voting for Ric McIvor, etc. are there for them.

Add home mail delivery to the subsidy list for Latte Sippers. Why they haven't done away with door delivery of mail and installed the boxes is beyond me.
I did the quiz and although I live in Bridlewood. I am about a plus 5 on the latte scale and if you add in trips to MEC in the last month I get to like +7. The one thing I miss about working downtown is the District. Such good food and beer. I might have to make a pilgrimage.
Other than having 2 kids and owning an SUV (only 1 vehicle though) I fit the Latte stereotype. I also enjoy Lattes.

On the flip side, us multi-family types on the East side of Elbow get no trick-or-treaters, and no election candidates come door knocking. I'm pretty sure that we don't even exist in DCU's mind.

I had to google search hem width, so I'm pretty sure that's an additional -1 on this question.

I'm honestly not sure if you mean this to be a pro or a con.

I just want our pumpkin carving to be noticed.  (and on a more serious note, I would have actually liked to have one of the Ward 13 candidates come to my door)

Do you also leave caltrops all over the road in front of the communal mailbox? That would definitely make you horrible and petty . . .

Last year I had 6 trick-or-treaters, this year I've got full sized chocolate bars waiting for em. With numbers so low I can finally be "that house".

If you live in a community where taxes (adjusted for ability to pay) exceed lifecycle costs, you're in latte zone. Otherwise, Yop for you.

I totally did that last year... not sure any of the parents "got" my costume, though.

No, I managed to get access to the YOP sales database. YOP sales are tracked at a meticulous level… everytime a YOP exits your body it is added to the database.

Yes, I'm second on that list! What do I win? (Other than your hard earned cash to subsidize my commute to and from work). Yes, your tears of frustration are delicious.

Had to google what YOP was. Yuck. I guess I must have missed the thread on why we think suburbanites like it.
