Do you not think that once in 30 years one the ~50 rich, seemingly very intelligent people that live on that street didn't step out onto it and think, "Hey.. this is a nice private street we have here. The property taxes on it must be killer. Hmm.. I wonder who pays those.. maybe I'll bring it up at the next HOA meeting."

Why do I get the feeling that the same people defending the residents of this street wouldn't bat an eye at condemning a poor person whose electricity gets shut off because the bill was sent to their former address and they simply forgot abou tit?

I think you are confusing your animus for selfish rich people with what it fair. Property taxes on that street were $14 year per home I believe. When you depend on your HOA dues to pay them [and the HOA apparently hired an accountant to actually pay them], you probably aren't going to notice a discrepancy.
