I added “gated” because that was a key fact in the article explaining why she died. My point was rich people sometimes move to very remote, inaccessible mansions to avoid the hoi poloi, but there are trade offs.
- defrost 3y agoI guess "gated" must somehow really really slow down emergancy crews on their way to an accident in Texas. > move to very remote, inaccessible mansions It really doesn't seem that remote, I can see other properties in the neighbourhood, it appears to be 10 mile or so from Johnson City (~2,000 people), etc, the property is under a thousand acres. This is all relative, of course; I live in a state 3x bigger than Texas and the vast bulk of the population of ~ 2 million live in the one corner making the rest of the state easily more remote than this. If you live in a large city then I guess all places "not a city" must seem equally remote to you, but I can assure it's very much not so - I worked in geophysical exploration in two thirds or so of the 190+ countries across the globe and on a remote scale of (say) New York City to Baliem Valley this is pretty much G20 city outskirts.
