Okay, but who will clean / teach / deliver to / cook for / care for (for example) your city of the rich?

  Not to mention students.

  This is non-economical thinking. If a city becomes too expensive for service workers, service workers will leave the city, lowering supply and increasing wages. Its a non-problem from an economic standpoint.

    Has this ever happened in reality?

      Do you think service workers in San francisco have the same wages than in Flynt Michigan? Of course its reality. Wages can't go lower than subsistence for long, either people move out or wages go up.

        Flint, MI.

      An example I can think of is that Monaco (tiny but wealthy city state) is serviced by mainly French and Italian citizens who drive 2 hours per day for higher wages in Monaco, so it does seem like it works. The downside is that this creates a lot of traffic during rush hour.
