It’s what I was trying to tell you…

here. The fancier the neighborhood, the scummier your neighbors. How many times must I tell you this?

You’re finally able to afford a 60 million dollar mansion in LA’s fanciest neighborhood of them all – Holmby Hills. But you forgot Fran Lebowitz’s famous reminder: “No one earns $100 million. You steal $100 million.”

Example: Your next door neighbor used his position as Armenia’s minister of finance to take as much money out of the country as he could through bribes; and now you get to watch the feds gather on his driveway and go through all of his possessions.

I mean, if you wanted to watch the police remove your neighbor’s furniture right there in front of his house, you could have saved money and moved to South Carolina.

But maybe you don’t care that more than a few of your neighbors are domestic and international criminals. You’re probably one yourself.
