Academic paper on the effect of the global super-rich on Highghate.

[Sir C]

Sorry, I meant the north London 'burbs. **** all in Hampstead or Highgate, that's for sure. I blame the kikes for not going out on Friday nights.

I used to like Il Sorpreso in Hampstead, Mind you I haven't been there since 1984.

It's an academic paper, so it has to be long.

Summary: Basically the super-rich are modernising old properties in ways which the old Highgate professional and academic elites find distasteful and vulgar, and complex and expensive legal battles ensue between the old upper-middle classes with their sense of community and respect for the historical aesthetic, and the new furrin neoliberal oligarch and high finance types who object to these fuddy duddies standing in their way of doing what they damn well please!

Summary of the summary: It's Thatcher's fault. Again.

That's a next-level summary, my man.

Yeah, I visited Highgate a couple days. Brought my copy of The Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844 with. As one does! #theyoungmarx #baller #erstwhilephilosphicalconscience

If the influx of the super-rich had anything to do with the opening of Ostuni - pretty much the first decent independent restaurant in north London - then the more the merrier.

These people don't eat in restaurants, my friend. They have their own chefs. As if they'd share a public space with the likes of you.
