#1 When you read the things that the elite of Karachi and Lahore write about, you wouldn't think they were living on the same planet as their countrymen.

#2 In The Peoples' Republic of Davis, CA, we've long had a majority against growth (read malls and new housing). As a result, boutiques peddle overpriced trinkets in overly high-rent shops. Until the Gottshalks store arrived, you had to drive 10 miles to Woodland to buy socks and underwear. Screw the Utopians; they're the ones who are tenured at the UC and have no clue about life without an Ivory Tower, especially WRT tipping the local service industry. Many of them have housing dividends and don't have to bother with the inflated market prices dictated by their very presence and support of Slow Growth.

Ah, the small joys of spitting in a Tweed Coat's Rob Roy....

#3 All that's missing is 'a filthy, ostentatious display of bourgeois capitalist decadence' to round out the Marxist message.
