People feel relatively unsafe around muggings, shootings, burglaries, and the like. And people who do that do not have 750k homes. People will pay a premium to be far away from that sort of activity, especially if that activity is taking place in and around the schools their kids attend.

There are rich crooks, yes, but that's beside the point here.

If you care about your kids' safety, that is not at all beside the point. Again, consider Epstein. Or more generally, think about how the kids of rich sociopaths will treat other kids.
