Atherton is literally a town of nothing but mega-mansions with very, very little in the way of commerce or industry. Its entire raison d'être is to be a retreat for the ultra-wealthy. Having ordinary people walk around in your billionaire enclave lowers property values.
- mushufasa 4y ago> Having ordinary people walk around in your billionaire enclave lowers property values I understand this is the argument is being made. This just seems to me like this is an opinion stated as if it were a fact, and not a tautological truth of property valuation.
