A modest apartment is not a luxury item. It is a modest apartment in a place with expensive land values. Much like a packet of Oscar Mayer ham on dry white toast served at a five star restaurant is still a packet of Oscar Mayer ham on dry white toast.

The location in and of itself makes a house a luxury item. A cardboard box on a 20 square foot plot of land in SoMa is practically a luxury item.
