So it goes in NYC and London as well, of course. This seems to be something distinctive (distinctively new?) about the latest round of hyper-gentrification in the world's leading financial-cultural centers: the extent to which it caters to/is driven by pied-a-terres for the globalist uber-bourgeoisie.
