Nah these people may live in the city, but they don't live with the city. Their lives are spent trying to insulate themselves from everyone around them. They don't take public transportation, they don't shop at the bodega or cornerstore down the street, and they don't take their kids to the park on days off.
They live in access-controlled palaces, get shuttled everywhere they need to go by their staff, go far outside of the city for anything leisure-related, and never do their own shopping.
The closest they get to being among the public is going out to restaurants, but only fancy ones that price out the riffraff, with fancy-sounding foreign food served by a waiter named Marcelo, so they still feel cultured for being there.
Like this post, they wave the flags of just causes because it gives them social clout and a platform, but they have no concept for what any of the things they supposedly advocate actually mean, and abandon these ideals the moment they become too inconvenient to defend.
