Look at it another way. You know those “masters of the universe”? Their wives spent a lot of time in places like SF’s Union Square, Westfield, Nordstroms. They shopped at Saks and Nieman Marcus, and, yes, Macys. They did lunch downtown.
And etc. across the board all over the SF Bay Area, and Los Angeles.
This general deterioration of the social facilities for these peoples families has hit them hard. That’s one reason why so many of the important people are leaving NY and California.
You’re right.
