I was actually talking about above 100th Street, which isn't particularly known for its elites.
Uh, having spent and still spending considerable time on the Upper East Side, one thing I can tell you -- these people aren't making believe. They're raking in money at a rate that would make Ivan Boesky blush. Rarely have I seen such a boom time in NYC. Of course, it will end, because it always ends.
These people are the leeches of society.
