Something doesn't sound quite right, it doesn't balance. you're not wrong there, but i think you're looking at the wrong thing. kylie sounds like you want to live in a castle of sand, not everyone is neuvo rich. just give some thought to what it may be like living in a community where basic rights and needs are only for those who can afford it, and a thought to keep in mind anyone could end up treading these boards of subsistance, things may look rosy now but unless you are a mogel they can turn sour pretty quickly.
