Scenes From The Class Struggle In Beverly Hills
-
Is it hard for you to decide who to support in the battle of Beverly Hills millionaires vs. billionaires over mega-mansions? What's happening is that new money -- much of it from the Middle East -- is buying up houses in the ultra-expensive areas of L.A., tearing down the existing mansions, and building massive, ridiculous houses with touches like private operating rooms, way out of proportion even for that area and in some cases in blatant violation of city and county codes. But the complainers have homes that are in some cases pretty ridiculous, too. Everyone involved has more money than anyone you know. (New York Times)
