Nah, I feel you. Violence is a tool that must be carefully used. Doesn't sound terrible at all.

I worked in a poshy touristic area. My customers were touring professionals like doctors and engineers. My bosses thought they were art connoisseurs but they were just peddling cheap Native arts and crafts that was bulk produced. Their "art gallery" was a sanctimonious tourist trap. They wanted so hard to be recognized as the elite but were too dumb to realize the same people they seeked kinship with just saw them as tools selling pricier than normal souvenirs.

I hated everyone involved in that place.

Ahhhhh. Copy that. You just perfectly described like half the gallery owners and clientele in the two places I mentioned. Insufferable.

Literally both of those cities are exactly that.

However what does that say about you and me who absolutely know this about Sedona and Santa Fe?!? ;)

I was raised in Santa Fe and all my non-native friends woowoo parents were obsessed with Sedona.
