So you are part of the problem hehehehhe

billyb says on Apr 11, 2008, 06:42:

Wow, Kat are you trying to tell me that my beloved liberal/socialist brethren in San Francisco are the second greediest people in the US? Oops, maybe I'm skewing the rankings ;)

god is in your head

Maybe they don't count as "cities", but the most affluent towns in the nation include the town of Aspen, CO, West Palm Beach, FL, Boca Raton, FL, and Naples, FL.

jonas says on Apr 11, 2008, 10:39:

I am a former resident of both Aspen, CO, and Boca Raton, FL but I have learned a lot and I now live a low profile life in Bogota and believe me, I am a lot happier here! No elbows needed. Just giving out kisses.

What I have, I do not want to lose, but Where I am I do not want to stay, but those I love, I do not want to leave, but those I know I no longer want to see, but Where I die, I do not want to go;I want to stay where I have never been

How do you define greed? Because some rich businessman lives there? Or are these the guys who always eat the last piece of pizza?

Robert Jorge says on Apr 11, 2008, 16:28:

Judging just on sheer greed, I am shocked Las Vegas didn't even make the list. I figure it should be number one.

Lcacique says on Apr 11, 2008, 16:34:

I noticed that as well MT, especially w/ Seattle being way up on the list.

Seattle is on the list for charging 5 bucks for a fokin cup of coffee.

tejasmarcos says on Apr 11, 2008, 18:08:

you should see their gas prices, bb.

billyb says on Apr 11, 2008, 20:05:

Tejas, I see them here in SF $3.93/gallon this morning.

I can't believe NYC was only #6! Ha!!

billyb says on Apr 11, 2008, 20:35:

MaFe, that's because you haven't done your part to move NYC up on the list;)

MaFe says on Apr 11, 2008, 20:40:

ja ja Billy. I am NOT greedy at all....but many, many people around me are...

Damn.....maybe I am going to have to start buying $200 Gucci thongs, and $1500 shirts...I will get on that!

billyb says on Apr 11, 2008, 20:46:

Ufff, Mafe, if you do buy those $200 Gucci thongs, be an angel and model them on here, jejeje.

houstongal says on Apr 11, 2008, 20:48:

Thank goodness Houston isn't on the list and Dallas is! I would agree with that assessment!

billyb says on Apr 11, 2008, 20:49:

Exactly what is regarded as greedy?

MaFe says on Apr 11, 2008, 21:00:

That is a good question billy....

billyb says on Apr 11, 2008, 21:14:

I mean Bill Gates was once regarded as the greediest man on earth, and now he is probably the most generous person in the history of mankind.

MaFe says on Apr 11, 2008, 21:30:

I never thought he was greedy...far from it!

greedy I supposed will be interepreted the way the individual wants it to be...

But remember when MSFT was, and still is, thought of as the most predatory company in the world? But i think for those guys money is secondary and making the deal is what produces the adrenilin.

houstongal says on Apr 11, 2008, 22:10:

So why aren't we having a PBH meet-up in SF since I'm here?????? Anyone interested in lunch tomorrow???

billyb says on Apr 11, 2008, 22:19:

MaFe says on Apr 11, 2008, 22:21:

Uhmmm..and myself driveallnight!!

Of course you too MF, otherwise i wouldn't go. Drive, why not GS? he's a great little patito. BTW, tyhe food there is so so, but beggars can't be choosers.

MaFe says on Apr 11, 2008, 22:27:

Thanks for the tip Billy.

Does anyone know how they measured the "greediness" of these cities?

houstongal says on Apr 11, 2008, 22:30:

OK Billy. I'm looking for dim sum for lunch since Chinatown is a few of blocks away (I'm in Union Sq). Call me if you're interested. I have between 10 and 2 open.

billyb says on Apr 11, 2008, 22:39:

Best dim sum in SF is at Yank Sing (415-957-9300) been there since 1957. I'll call you if I can get away, since the family will also bring their mutts, jajjaja. If not maybe we vcan meet for drinks at beetlenut.

MaFe says on Apr 11, 2008, 22:40:

mmmmm chinese...I could go for some right now...yummy!

billyb says on Apr 11, 2008, 22:42:

MaFe, catch the next flight out west???

MaFe says on Apr 11, 2008, 22:44:

I should! I have a friend that moved to SF a few months ago, she was sick of NY, and wanted a new change....the city with the most singles my tush!! She's engaged now!!

billyb says on Apr 11, 2008, 22:46:

Wow, she was easy, jeejeje. But see, it is the best place for singles, specially if you are a straight male.

MaFe says on Apr 11, 2008, 22:46:

Really? I should send my baby brother there!!

houstongal says on Apr 11, 2008, 23:08:

Thanks for the recommendation Billy. Yeah, give me a call if you can break away for dim sum. Unfortunately we have a wine tasting before dinner tomorrow night. Wine wine pairing dinner....we're gonna be a bit tipsy by the end of the night.

billyb says on Apr 11, 2008, 23:12:

Maybe I should crash your party.

houstongal says on Apr 11, 2008, 23:15:

SURE! You wanna join us for dinner too? Wine tasting is $10 ... 6-7:30 pm.

billyb says on Apr 11, 2008, 23:18:

Sounds good, i'll call you if i can manage it, although I'll stick out like a sore thumb in my campesino outfit. Where is the tasting at?

houstongal says on Apr 11, 2008, 23:21:

We're at the Hilton in Union Sq. I'm sure there will be all sorts of dress - from suits to jeans. By Saturday people get pretty casual.

So you are part of the problem hehehehhe

Kat, I prefer to classify myself not as part of the Problem but as part of the solution! My Only problem is that I speak English and that does present a problem in many areas of Miami. Ja Ja Ja
