Agree. I'm just nosey enough to want to know the background of some of these families.
Totally off topic here but I currently live in a beautiful, rural area of northern central Florida surrounding a small town where certain families have "run" this town/county, intermarried with other families who also have "run" this town/county for 3-4 generations.
They own businesses, are on councils, in zoning, and school affairs. One thing we don't have is police corruption, thank god. Other than that everyone else is an outsider. After 5 years living here, it's frustrating and not fun.
Like someone told us "for anything to change, we need more funerals." but that kind of power leeches down into the next generation of bullies and lazy, entitled idiots.
IMO, the Boston area has been and is very proud to be in LE or have family in LE or be married to LE.
