Beverly Hills has a population of 35,000. It's a neighborhood. Silicon Valley has a population of a few million (depending on how you define it). A luxury city is more absurd than a luxury neighborhood because a city requires people who don't receive luxury salaries to function.
- arkades 7y ago> a city requires people who don't receive luxury salaries to function. That is such a key, and overlooked, point. People are so busy imagining themselves in the shoes of one of the luxuriating few that they forget about the entire human ecosystem required to make a city function.
