There always seems to be enough super-affluent people to buy these ridiculous properties. And a handful are enough to reinforce how people on your doorstep have X times more than you.
It's exactly the same here in Islington South. Hordes of us crammed into high-density housing, interspersed with posh dwellings. One's just been built right outside my window. In my line of sight, I now get a clear view of a huge glass-walled upper floor where the new inhabitants enjoy putting on a brightly lit bourgeois show for us at every opportunity. Insensitive doesn't begin to describe it. Ostentatious might.
I've managed not to indiscriminately slap anyone thus far. Go me.
