That's one of the dangers of high economic inequality. There is now a class of people who are essentially insulated from the social consequences of their actions.

Look at Geffen's "garage" - http://www.theverge.com/2013/7/25/4554132/david-geffens-beac...

It's not a garage. He's had the curb shaped like it's a driveway, and painted like it is, but it's not. Everyone, including the city know it's not.

But try and park there and you'll be fined like it is. Towed like it is.

Hah. While the fake garage he set up is a clear loss for the public, it is actually quite ingenious.
