Fire Lays Bare The ‘Tale Of Two Kensingtons’ - A Borough Of Extreme Rich And Poor
What IS the point of this article?
The whole purpose of a modern metropolis is that people of various income levels, ethnicities and educations SHOULD live near each other. Would Huffpo prefer that the poor only live near the poor and the well-off only live near the affluent?
Or is the point that the rich should not be allowed to live anywhere at all?
That their wealth should be confiscated and redistributed until we all are equally poor?
PS: A home that sells for 250k does not sound like poor to me, but perhaps I measure by different standards, as in: if you get more than $2 a day you are among the wealthiest 50% of the world.
