«They are parasites because they are spending money (that they didn't earn by producing anything) in an inefficient manner. That three floor apartment could house many people, instead it is wasting a very rare commodity in NYC: housing. I'd be much more sympathetic if she actually spent time in that apartment. She produces no wealth and destroys wealth through inefficiency - good use of the word "parasite".» You know, when I tried to picture what you implied to be the right and correct resource use I come up with Bangladesh life-style - many people living in a small area, not a lot of space wasted. If I think more about it, the entire american life-style resonates in opposition with your objections. In fact, all the american-dreamers long to what she is and what she has, don't they?
