Massive inequality and the lower class literally living in cages?

Okay, that was rude, but I have a feeling that what is driving most of what's great about it (almost unparalleled economic freedom being that driver) leads to that outcome. The vibrant cultural scene etc is a side effect of that inequality and the riches it provides to the upper class.

The massive inequality was the outcome of a Government not elected by people and doing absolutely nothing for 15 years with regards to land and housing policy, all while benefiting from the insane housing prices ( Above and Beyond SF and Toronto ) as they are participant and investors in the housing market.
