Why is Beverly Hills So Rich and Famous?
video description
It wasn't a bad place to be in every day, but I couldn't live anywhere near work and that 1 hour drive each way inspired me to become an urban planner. So thank you, Beverly Hills!

Sadly despite it's importance, Pickfair was later demolished in 1990 by new owners, who initially claimed the house was in disrepair but later admitted that it had actually been in great condition; they had demolished it because they believed it was haunted (and they wanted a much bigger, more opulent mansion for themselves.
And fun fact, the second mayor of Beverley Hills was actor Will Rogers, a member of the Cherokee Nation.

One thing that wasn't mentioned is that LA Metro is building a full subway through Beverly Hills, due to open in a few years with stations at WIlshire/La Cienega and WIlshire/Rodeo. Funnily enough, the residents have even resorted to using the children in the High School to try and derail the project(The Tunnels have to go under the high school to reach the Century City station)

I wonder is there any wealthy areas in the US where the rich people do cycle or walk around? If you notice in London for example, in Kensington & Chelse is the local amenities and attractions. You ll see very wealthy people just wander about even more so than the upper east side. Notably even British royal family based in KP have been spotted popping into the shops

They can keep it! I enjoy my 1950s ranch home in Florida in a very welcoming community that allows me to run, ride a bike, and walk my dogs. It s ironic that these ultra rich people want to be seen but hide themselves away in isolation. I do appreciate a lot of the architecture in Beverly Hills, but I couldn t live in such an unwelcoming environment.

the area around rodeo drive has plenty of tall buildings and apartments and there's quite a few celebrities that would wanna live in an apartment like in new york but in la so they should make some of those there even if they're not affordable it takes rich people away from places that have the potential to be affordable

The 14, 500 living in beverly hills is easy to understand when you know how much tax fraud there is. I am aware of restaurant and club owners who qualify for welfare, but drive new Porsches and live in 5000 sq. ft houses. And those are legal cash businesses, then there's also illegal cash businesses.

I last walked on Rodeo Drive in 2019 and while it s walkable, I did see my fair share of exotic cars, including a Ferrari in which the owner was reviving up his car just for show and then a cop in a bicycle gave that driver a noise violation ticket.

You should do a video on urban ethnocultural diversity & why some cities around the world (Los Angeles, NYC, Miami, Melbourne, Toronto, London, Berlin, Rotterdam etc) are home to many different immigrant communities & ethnocultural groups.

Now come on you can't ban cars from Rodeo Drive. It's not called Rodeo Walk. Although given the name if it was only accessible by walking or horseback, that would be kind of cool. Make the celebrities go shopping in stagecoaches.

Interesting! From the media, I always thought it was a Los Angeles neighborhood (not its own city) and next to the ocean (close enough, I guess. The richness was a given. This video is like so totally fetch!

It sounds like Beverly Hills needs to be cut off from the services provided by LA. If they want to be seen as their own entity, they should be able to acquire their own resources

My brother and his wife used to live in BH. In a small apartment near Clark/Clifton. Hardly even in BH, but they got a kick out of telling people that's where they lived.

Wealthy men can't live in an island that is encircled by poverty. We all breathe the same air. We must give a chance to everyone, at least a basic chance. Senna

Looks a lot like Coral Gables, tbh there were multimillion dollar homes, but I lived in a 1-bedroom apartment a few blocks from Miracle Mile for 900/month

Of course the ultra wealthy would oppose having blacks, railways, freeways or anything.
Only care about how much money they have
