I disagree. The dirty rich will horde tens and even hundreds of apartments (or acres upon acres of land) in strategic places (with insider knowledge) and then with lobbying of various kinds make these places more and more desirable by bringing developments to these areas only or by concentrating various services in these areas only. So your point that no one forces someone to live in somewhere is wrong. edit: added point about insider knowledge

> and then with lobbying of various kinds make these places more and more desirable by bringing developments to these areas Sounds like they're providing a valuable service to me.

  The dirty rich: the people who are avoiding big taxes (in excess of multiples of a year's worth of minimum wage) and/or bending/pressuring the system (through lobbying) to change such that they don't have to pay taxes (with various loopholes set in place). That's roughly captures the essence of my idea of dirty-rich. These dirty-rich grab most or all of the strategically important spaces and then make more money off the rents. I have very good idea of what I am talking and FYI I am not a communist with bias against all rich people. In fact, I am a strong opponent of communism. But I also oppose the dirty-rich in capitalist nations.
