I wonder what NALs has to say about this survey which doesn't have the barrio of Greenwich, CT making the list?
It's simply a list.
Have you been to Greenwich? If so, you would have known that:
1. The town is twice as big as Manhattan and has NO poor areas whatsoever - thus calling it a "barrio" is a loonnggg stretch!
2. Average single family properties are worth around $2 million.
3. It's a desirable locale, known among the more "important" social circles which controls and governs much of the world.
4. It's main drag (Greenwich Avenue) is a collection of some of the most expensive restaurants, shops, etc anywhere. The extremely upscale strip is often nicknamed "the Rodeo Drive of the east coast."
That along with New Canaan, Darien, Westport, and a few other towns makes Fairfield County the second wealthiest in the U.S. and by default, among the wealthiest places on earth.
Stamford, CT is actually the third most important hub of fortune 500 companies in the U.S. It's the most important city most Americans have never heard of. Purdue, UBS North America (which has the largest private trading floor in the world at the moment), General Electric, Pitney Bowes, Xerox, and soon Royal Bank of Scotland among others are headquartered in Stamford.
These places are a bubble of near perfection, even by U.S. standards.
But, since it did not made it to "the list", I guess it must not be true. :tired:
