I also lived in New York. I think there is merit to what he is saying though. I grew up in the suburbs and couldn't understand the appeal of the Hamptons AT ALL. 'Wow overpriced suburbs because New Yorkers don't know everything worldwide is cheaper' Look, New Yorkers literally put the ABILITY to barbecue on a pedestal because of the scarcity of that ability, they are extremely out of touch with the world. The Hamptons isn't a big deal architecture wise or geography wise. The status symbol is. New York is very one-dimensional in that regard. You are right, you don't have to play along, that doesn't mean it is devoid of consequences.
