Its basically a class structure issue that you have brought up.  I personally think its an amazing idea and much will come from it.  Whats wrong with living next to a police sgt or a Draper Labs Research scientist or even a high school math teacher.   None of the above are in the $17M range.  Then again if I were in the $17M range I might feel strange.  Its hard to say.  Sounds like the model of Tent City. The low rent people are on the first floor and across the South West Corridor.  The others are all upstairs.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Baron67]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 11th 2008 3:18PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Affordable Apartments At The Mandarin Oriental Up For Lottery]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2008/11/30/affordable-apartments-at-the-mandarin-oriental-up-for-lottery/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2008/11/30/affordable-apartments-at-the-mandarin-oriental-up-for-lottery/</guid><description><![CDATA[clearly, we would all like to think we judge people by their character, however, in reality if we dig deep into ourselves, i think we might find that although good in theory, it is at best difficult in execution for many of us...  most people aspire to better jobs, better places to live, better lives and schools for our children than ours...  the rich are no different than the poor or the middle class in that respect - i'm simply suggesting the people i know who can buy a $17M apartment want to be surrounded by similar financially able people - right or wrong...  clearly for that kind of money, if so inclined, one could buy an entire apartment building in a less expensive neighborhood and use several floors for a huge duplex or triplex home - but i don't believe that happens very often...  you make good points, though - thanks...  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[cantdrive55]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 11th 2008 6:02PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
