Also isn’t it so petty to admit you (would) move because you don’t want to shell out your bit for your community? Like isn’t that incredibly cheap? Don’t you like living in New York? Don’t you like your city?
It’s like the rich guy passing on the collection plate at church type move.
Well, the rich didn’t get rich by giving away their money.
To them it’s a status symbol - like how Apple products used to be status symbols for the plebeian (aka us).
Having multimillion dollar supercars, villas, mansions, seven bedroom apartments, etc., works well, but you’re only truly rich if you can show off how you didn’t actually lose any value to get those benefits. How you didn’t need to spend a single penny of your wealth to live the rich life.
Yeah I guess I should stop ascribing any kind of communalist value systems to them. The like of you and I aren’t in the group they consider their community.
