I don't have a good bead on this neighborhood, mostly because I don't drive and so I just don't get up there much. But it's filled with kid-oriented stuff.
As I continue to think about it, they might be easily folded into Piedmont Parents as a subspecies, with a little Berkeley seasoning on top.
The vague vibe I get is rich and blind to privilege, a little more touchy-feely than Piedmont and a little less aggressive about it than Berkeley. Dippy :)
Ah. The only parents I knew in that area were Berkeley overachiever Asian parents, via their ABC (American Born Chinese) children. The girl I knew was disturbingly naive about a bunch of stuff
