@couch a thousand self-entitled millionaires vying for a place to park that new Maserati. What could go wrong?

@couch That's why I live in New York, where the rich are effectively contained on an island.

@bdotdub Newly minted millionaires buying houses and cars, causing extreme inflation and gentrification, eschewing entire populations.

@buzz It's true, though I would argue neighborhoods in Brooklyn have their fair share of the rich as well.

@couch Well, I'm joking. But I do think it's somewhat unique to SF that the success of one or two companies could transform the entire city.

@buzz But you're right! It's depressing, but also kind of fascinating. Somehow, I wish that extreme wealth could be relegated to the Valley.

@couch: We can just set their stuff on fire, surely.
