No entitlement there at all.....how to say you're above the hoi polloi without actually saying it.
LOL... I can scarcely type. I was reading through this thread and got to your comments and it was like you were snatching my exact thoughts right out of my mind ..... eye rolls and all. I suppose if some film or sports star built a 4.5 mill or up mansion in a location with no zoning, and some one built a 4 room on a slab next door, it might be a major issue to the person in the mansion. But here, it's just so amusing I actually laughed out loud as I read your comments, so true. You know, Mr. Swartz used to push that idea, the place where ordinary people can belong to "country clubs" and live like millionaires. I don't know what would happen to us if someone built a lowly ranch next to us... do the still have those "ranches"... what would probably happen if someone built a small ranch next to us, we would have very financially astute new neighbors. Have you ever read The Millionaire Next Door... there are some who consider those who live in the older villages absolute trash. If you read The Millionaire Next Door, those are the people who are likely to be able to "buy and sell" their snooty neighbor ten times over...LOL...people who know how to save and and multiply money..LOL... and no one ever suspects, they look so... "ordinary".
