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.
Well yeah. I'm not from the US (Europe), but it's not unusual that multi-millionaires or billionaires suddenly disappear from the "richest lists" after doing some economic gymnastics. I remember a "formerly rich person" in my city with $0 income who drove a Koenigsegg. Income tells us absolutely zero about a person's wealth. If you want to avoid income tax: Take your salary in the form of company stock. Use the stock as collateral at your bank and lend money from said bank. Congrats. You've got cash. 0% tax as long as you don't sell any stock. Historically the stock you're holding will increase in value making you able to borrow more money. There are many many other ways of doing this, but this is the obvious caveman method.
What about all the live in nanny’s n house staff for a lot of these places . In addition there is a large amount of immigrant labor force present in the city
@@LordManhattanand that’s the method Musk thinks he’s so smart for using (tho I think he sells some of the stock, but capital gains tax is still way lower than income tax so it still works out)
I used to live in West Hollywood - which as the residents would say is “Beverly Hills adjacent” - and work in Westwood which was just on the opposite side. So I almost exclusively biked through B.H. to commute to work and often jogged through its northern neighborhoods for exercise. The views of the mansions and parks there are really pretty and the roads much more pleasant and feels safer for cyclists in spite of not having dedicated bike lanes, compared to the typical congestion and careless drivers on Santa Monica Boulevard.
@@johnnynezha2634 why would they "respect traffic rules" when they virtually can't kill or maim anyone? I think you are referring to the "California roll", where people skip a red light when there's no activity. What's so wrong with that?
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.

I don't get this sentiment calling highways "blight"? Easy access to the highway is a plus for me. I personally don't like to drive 20 minutes just to get on the freeway.
The main thing that blows peoples minds about 95% of the greater LA region is that it's pretty much just a super generic medium density city that could be anywhere in America. You occasionally turn a corner in a neighborhood and get an iconic scene from 100 movies, or a wacky gaudy palace. But mostly you turn a corner and see a Starbucks or a ranch house or whatever. It's all just too hot and expensive. The crappy ranch houses all cost 2-3 million dollars. But if you ride a bike from Koreatown to Santa Monica, you can pass through BH and not necessarily even notice it as a special place depending on the route you take. From the street, it's hard to tell how exotic some of the big houses are, cuz you just kinda see some bushes and you can't tell how many houses or apartments are behind them.
As someone who lives in between Koreatown and Beverly Hills (and commutes through BH regularly), I have to disagree. I'm not saying that LA a well designed city -- it isn't, but to say that LA is 95% generic, especially *that* area is completely exaggerating. Like, I have no idea how someone can bike through Beverly Hills and not notice they're in Beverly Hills. There's a noticable change vibe: in architecture, from modern and mid-century to early 20th Century and Art Deco, from normal stores to all the bougie ones, hell, there's even a giant sign that tells you you are in the city. And as for the big houses (which I've walked around that neighborhood) most of the houses aren't actually covered by bushes, there's lots of interesting styles to see. And that's not mentioning all the different kinds of places you'll see in just the Wilshrie corridor. There's Ktown (as you mentioned), Fairfax with lots and lots of museums, Westwood and UCLA's collegetown, Sawtelle with tons of Japanese markets and restaurants, and then you reach Santa Monica. And there's lot's of "pockets of walkability" like Larchmont, La Brea, Beverly Dr, Sawtelle, 3rd St, etc. that are full of local businesses, boutiques, classic theaters, and restaurants. Plus in greater LA there's Hollywood, Culver City, the USC area, Baldwin Hills, Crenshaw, Pasadena, the 626 etc. etc. The thing is, they are not connected well: with highways and stroads which famously plague this city. Maybe if you are just pass through these places along the stroads, I can see how everything looks generic, but if you go the road less travelled, you'll see how unique each neighbohood is. The city is *trying* to improve transit though (I hope the subway is built soon so I don't have to get stuck in bus traffic). And besides, there's too many murals here to be *anywhere* in America!
You won't notice the big mansions is because they're secluded away and that's intentional. There's some mansions near me and you wouldn't know they are there unless you went out of your way.
*Bel Air, Holmby Hills, Hancock Park, are in the city of Los Angeles* *As is Hollywood* *Now WeHO* Through tireless determination, the City of West Hollywood was officially incorporated as an independent City on November 29, 1984. *Previously, West Hollywood had been an unincorporated section of Los Angeles County.*
One thing about effecting home values are and were grassy green lawn. This concept is adopted/brought from Europe in 17th century when riches plant green grass front of their houses to make their houses neat while majority of people were adapting to the geographic conditions. They gave the lawn nickname like "green carpet" or "pleasure grounds." Because of this background and history, homes with green lawns tend to have higher values in real estate market. This is why "golf" is rich people's sport.
Yes. Part of it was also the idea of a piece of ground given over to purely aesthetic use, with no economic (livestock grazing, growing crops and veggies) benefit whatsoever. A different way of 'conspicuous consumption".
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.
I grew up in the 70s after my parents divorce in Beverly hills. we went from a 4000sf house with a swimming pool in the valley to the single mothers apartment section below wilshire blvd. most of the families here were from middle, upper middle class, a large percentage jewish the persians were just beginning to arrive. the reason we moved here at the time was bussing, beverly hills was independent with a good school district. 4 k-8 and one high school. i remember one kid who needed help buying a suit for graduation when suits were only100 $. in saying that i did attend with Will shatner's and Gig young's daughters and lots of industry peoples kids. Gabriel Macht lived on the same block in an apartment until his father Stephen's success got him a house over on Rodeo dr. still in the same neighborhood. it was a good place for kids and moms.
I was dating a girl in Beverly Hills, her mom and dad worked normal jobs and they live in a nice normal duplex. The disparity is INSANE! Her friends on the other hand live in 10-20 million dollar homes in the flats/ gateway/ holmby. It’s kind of crazy that a kid can even grow up in an environment that different
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
@@TheManiple I wholeheartedly agree. I live right outside of BH and it's really easy to see where the dividing line between it and WeHo is, because on WeHo's side there are dense midrise apartment complexes, and on BH's side, there's nothing but bougey overpriced single-family homes on quarter-acre lots. Makes me sick tbh.
Careful what you wish for. BH would be better off not paying any taxes to LA, and providing for their own needs. The land was cheaper when it was developed 100+ years ago. Nobody should be forced to demolish their private home and build high density housing just because the "free market" says the land value is higher. High property prices does not mean everyone living there has an income high enough to afford the market price.
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.
That's a great idea! Looks like he liked your comment so hopefully he turns that into a video! I think you will find at least 2 major categories that attract large ethnic diverse population: 1. Proximity to another country. Think of Mexicans in the southwest, Florida with many Caribbean & south Americans, and lesser extent Asians in the west coast 2. Jobs. Specific types of jobs that attract international people. Bay Area & NYC are great examples. And once you have a growing population of an ethnic group, it will attract more of that group.
@@bearcb Does Brazil get that many immigrants though? I know that they did in the past but I've heard that now no one wants to move to Brazil. Though it is interesting to me that Brazil has the largest Lebanese and Japanese diaspora populations in the world.

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”
Here in my town in FL a lot of the wealthiest people are attorneys, politicians, etc… they can be scene in cycling clubs, walking around the fancier neighborhoods, etc. But this is Florida, people live here to be outside.
The wealthiest hood in NYC is Chelsea, not the upper east side. There are plenty of other parts of NYC that are extremely wealthy as well and totally walkable. I don't ask people their incomes but most all of the wealthy parts of Manhattan are extremely walkable, so it is safe to say they do walk there and "pop into shops"
I would guess that there are, but the walkable areas are themselves part of the wealthy enclave - islands inside of islands, as the video says, where you go to do something (shop, probably) rather than a place that's necessarily part of the community (a park, a small business). It is, in a sense, walking and cycling as a social status thing rather than for any inherent purpose.
There's that place on top of the hills in San Francisco that's supposedly the bee's knees, because of the severe building restrictions. Is it Presidio Heights or Pacific Heights? The point is, just because of the restrictions, they can't just tear the houses down and build Mega McMansions there. It's supposedly the most expensive real estate in the US.
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.
The flats of Beverly Hills is SUPER walkable and the streets are extremely wide… you “could” walk from your mansion to rodeo or little santa monica pretty easily.
I would love to see a video on annexation/consolidation of cities (benefits, drawbacks, etc.). Boston and its surrounding cities/towns/suburbs is a really interesting case study.
Boston has some crazy city borders. Just from a map perspective one would expect that Cambridge and Brookline would have already been annexed. Its also hilarious to me that "Harvard Bridge" connects directly between MIT and Boston. (The road does go to Harvard, but MIT is right there)
Swimming pools actually are not big water users...people fill them once and they typically stay full with a trickle of a few hundred gallons a week. Also, the people in Beverly Hills can afford to buy expensive pool covers to reduce evaporation and take good care of them so they don't need to be drained and cleaned more than a couple times during the lifetime of the pool. It's a fallacy that swimming pools are a drain on limited water resources Lawns and landscaping is another story entirely: this is truly the biggest water user, which is why Las Vegas is making property owners remove lawns and no longer allowing new homes to install live grass. It's the DESERT, duh! Drought-tolerant native vegetation should always have been the requirement, it's about time this was regulated.
1:06 actually Beverly Hills also shares border with the city of West Hollywood. Meaning that Beverly Hills/West Hollywood together are completely surrounded by the city of Los Angeles
Can you do similarly high end enclaves in cities that are considered poor. Roland Park in Baltimore comes naturally to my mind, although there are probably similar ones in Detroit, St.Louis, Cleveland etc.
Tying together your thoughts about community power and density, I wish you had mentioned that, in spite of legal fights with ridiculous arguments, Beverly Hills will get a subway station in the next 5 years. In spite of their best efforts, BH actually has ample transit access-because they know they need it. BH might be super wealthy, but the people who work there aren’t, and downtown Beverly Hills is Erbse enough that transit is the only way to bring that nang workers to the city.
There was a recent story of Beverly Hills imposing strict regulations in regards to dog parks and so that only residents there can take their dogs there.
When I visited LA this year one of the things that most stood out to me about Beverly Hills is that there are no hire bike stations, making it needlessly hard to get to and around.
overall great video, however I’d add that ALL the neighborhoods south of Sunset Blvd have sidewalks and are incredibly pedestrian friendly. Also the neighborhoods south of Wilshire Blvd have numerous small apartment buildings mixed in with more modest single family homes
I grew up in Beverly Hills, I'm also half Persian (not Jewish, though), this video is the first time I've seen someone accurately describe the city. My family was considered middle class for BH standards, and we lived in the very south side of the city, which to this day has a completely different vibe and people from the side north of Santa Monica Blvd. I never lived in a mansion, but moved between apartments and duplexes. Would I live there again? Probably not, the city is pretty stagnant in development and is full of NIMBYs (including my mom at one point), but BH, or at least my neighborhood, was definitely very nice to live in as a kid.
@@Notfallkaramell Stands for Not In My Backyard. It describes people who consider themselves left-leaning but will reject anything related to new infastructure in their neighborhood because it will ruin the character or property value or something like that.
Great video my grandparents had a house on Coldwater on BH border with LA the joke was houses south of Wilshire was called the slums of Beverly Hills my friend moved from the valley to that area in charleville st with all those apartments near there did look like it was a less expensive area
"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
As a non american I didn't really know what Beverly Hills was other than a wealthy neighborhood on some hills, but given your description I'm surprised how tiny the lots are. Don't the rich and famous usually have a huge property somewhere outside the city and a rooftop apartment in the center? Those houses are such a weird in-between. No real privacy, less greenspace than rural middle class gardens, but also little infrastructure. How can a location alone be so expensive, can you use it for networking? I expected a tax haven story like it would be here in Europe but there was no mention of that.
The houses are beautiful and well built, which is very uncommon in most of the US in the west half. The privacy is good, not bad. The access to the rest of the LA area is very good. Great views, great weather. Very high density of high network people to communicate with.
Yes and no. The communities that you describe for the rich (far from the city and huge) exist in the LA area and are even more expensive than BH. For example, the Kardashians live in Calabasas which is an entire mountain range away from anything resembling city life, so much that Kylie Jenner takes 15min private jet rides to get anywhere. But places like that are literally just for living, BH is a rich area that also gives you some accessibility to civilization lol. A good medium between that in LA is thr neighborhood of Bel Air, where the mansions are bigger than BH but you're still adjacent to the city. Downside to there is that BA is not it's own city, so the rich people there are still subject to city of LA laws and can't politics their way into what they want 100% of the time (they are still rich enough to get their way 90% of the time, honestly)
Oh but it should, tourism dollars are much and you'd be silly to keep them out, or does your town like making its money off the backs of your poor communities
@@susannpatton2893 I said neighbourhood not entire town/ city.. They absolutely shouldn't. Residential areas are for living, there are other places for attractions
Love the video, but I must clear up the pronunciation of Trousdale Estates. It's actually pronounced Trues-dale. I would not know if it were not be for the show Ray Donovan because his wife always talked about wanting to move there. Keep up the good work!
Generalizations aren't facts. I've been a resident of BH for almost 30 years and know way more people who conserve and reduce far more than those who don't within my town.
I drove through Beverly Hills north of Santa Monica Blvd and I was kind of shocked. It is such a rich city but the infrastructure is quite poor. Then again Rodeo area is alright especially compared to West Hollywood or basically anything else in LA. Again though, it's surprising that the bar is so low in LA even with so much international appeal and money flowing through it.
The lack of "infrastructure" is not a bug, it's a feature. Way they see it, they want to discourage too much population density around to keep the riff raff out. If you can't afford to have a car, then you're shit out of luck lol
The infrastructure is quite poor?? Care to elaborate how? Where abouts you were exactly? Especially since north of SM Blvd actually encompasses most of BH
Very sad that the "White House" of the West Coast, "Pickfair" which was built by Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. and Mary Pickford was torn down as was Rudolph Valentino's "Falcon Lair" also torn down. Two of the most famous homes in Beverly Hills torn down and exist no longer!
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
Mr. Beast made it pretty clear, that if you're Rich and Famous, it's pretty difficult to live in normal housing. He said, the lack of security becomes very quickly exploited. Not to excuse the residents of Beverly hills for their water consumption etc. but I understand why the privacy exists.
You can rent in BH and there is at least when I lived there, rent control. It's also a city full of tourists which is a lot of the cars you would see since most rent your basic cars and not luxury ones that some car rental companies have. I must admit that eating and shopping in BH just felt different then doing the same thing a mile away in Los Angeles.
I like the topics you cover, but the audio constantly cutting out for a split second mid sentence was jarring. I thought it might have been my speakers, but it's the editing techniques.
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.
I would like to see a comparison between Beverly hills and Monaco. Both are places for the richest, but to me the fibe looks completely different. Monaco is more walkable, everything more accessible for tourists or non residents (ie normal people) and the very rich people live in tiny apartments.
You missed the urban part of Beverly Hills completely. Between Santa Monica Blvd. and Wilshire Blvd. there are some large new apartment buildings. South of Wilshire the area is dominated by small apartment buildings, the missing middle housing beloved of urbanists. Beverly Hills has four frequent bus corridors and will soon, despite local protests, have a subway. Your picture is incomplete.
Love this! One trend that I've noticed, is celebrities moving from Beverly Hills to Malibu to Pacific Palisades. And then there are some who move to Calabasas. I wonder if Beverly Hills is a lot less desirable these days for the ultra wealthy.
Burning down, heh. Yeah, it surprises me because it gets so hot in the summer there. I forgot to mention Montecito. I wonder if that will keep populating. It's a bit out of the way for commuting to the studios, though..
'native lawns' arent really a thing in most of la. the majority of native grasses grow tall, and in bunches. theyre nothing like turf grass. alot of la was either wetlands, woodlands or coastal sage scrub before we paved over the ecosystem. and when la was paying people to take out their turf grass, people unfortunately replaced it with foreign desert plants, rocks, and invasives. so flooding got worse, native plants got out competed, and without native flowers and native fruit trees, the wildlife continues to decline. people even tried to plant more trees for the birds but without the flowers to attract insects, birds had no reason to stay
The Russia Ukraine war has served to accentuate a state of recession in the economy though it might only seem obvious in the oil sector. it’s quite crucial to be mindful of the state of your finances to prevent sinking under.

That got me richer than I ever thought possible even in the present economy

impressive. can she handle a mid sized portfolio. I just looked up the company and I am intrigued by the wonderful reviews of Maria online. I am very much interested in this
I would guess yes judging from the size of my account under management since it's a fairly large one. you can still send her an enquiry to know exactly what terms you guys can work with. I can only vouch for the results I've seen. and to think that I've seen so much in after tax gains is what marvels me the most.
1:09 Bevery Hills is not surrounded by the City of LA. Part of its eastern border is the City of West Hollywood together they are surrounded by City of LA.
But there is no way out of Beverly Hills without crossing through LA? I think that's what the video meant though I understand your definition as well. Both make sense to me.
@@Homer-OJ-Simpson "no way out of Beverly Hills without crossing through LA". You can enter the City of West Hollwood from BH and never enter City of LA. Check the intersection of Doheny Drive and Santa Monica Blvd on Maps as an example to verify.
They paid more than enough to be entitled to do whatever the hell they want with their city. It's theirs, not ours. The idea of building affordable housing in wealthy neighborhoods is just bizarre.
I've been there once. One side is Beverly Hill, the other side is the trash-traped Downtown LA with an army of homeless and drug addicts. The huge contrast is just like Mumbai or Jaakrta.
Do a video on Stockton CA, the largest municipal bankruptcy. The city has a rich history and then descended into the dumpster fire it is now over the back half of the 20’th century. Not too far from SLO where you are based out of too.
Long time fan here. I've tried to refrain from complaining but... maybe I'm just getting old, but I find it difficult to follow your rapid pace of speech. I wish you'd slow it down a tad. It's a lot of facts to absorb at lightning speed! Captions do help, though, they cover your own occasional asides. I will continue to struggle through them for the great content!
If BH was smart it would tie its affordable housing projects TO the upcoming Metro station inside city limits. Yes this area is the rich downtown commercial district but many of those walkable areas would be even better with apartments above the shops in bougie 5 over 1's... And yes they could even install vertical gardens, solar panels and privacy screens to make it seem more 90210-esque...
The LaBrea tarpits have been home to some fossilized ancient creatures for millions of year, and they've only gone up in property value during that time.😅
Im a resident of Beverly Hills (i live in southern beverly hills), it is surprising affordable to live in an apartment here compared to many other "good" parts of the LA area like Santa Monica. It is surprisingly walkable and you don't need to get a car to go to the grocery store or run errands. Downtown Beverly Hills and south Beverly Hills are very walkable, I usually leave my car at home if I need to go to the post office, get groceries or do anything that is in Beverly Hills. I am excited for the subway to open, however I don't like the idea of it running under the high school as it was once an active oil field and may contain a lot of pockets of methane gas. The rounting and century city station under Santa Monica Blvd was a much better idea that a lot of people supported. Either way, I really hate driving downtown and want to take the subway!

As someone who lives in between Koreatown and Beverly Hills (and commutes through BH regularly), I have to disagree. I'm not saying that LA a well designed city -- it isn't, but to say that LA is 95% generic, especially *that* area is completely exaggerating. Like, I have no idea how someone can bike through Beverly Hills and not notice they're in Beverly Hills. There's a noticable change vibe: in architecture, from modern and mid-century to early 20th Century and Art Deco, from normal stores to all the bougie ones, hell, there's even a giant sign that tells you you are in the city. And as for the big houses (which I've walked around that neighborhood) most of the houses aren't actually covered by bushes, there's lots of interesting styles to see.
And that's not mentioning all the different kinds of places you'll see in just the Wilshrie corridor. There's Ktown (as you mentioned), Fairfax with lots and lots of museums, Westwood and UCLA's collegetown, Sawtelle with tons of Japanese markets and restaurants, and then you reach Santa Monica. And there's lot's of "pockets of walkability" like Larchmont, La Brea, Beverly Dr, Sawtelle, 3rd St, etc. that are full of local businesses, boutiques, classic theaters, and restaurants. Plus in greater LA there's Hollywood, Culver City, the USC area, Baldwin Hills, Crenshaw, Pasadena, the 626 etc. etc.
The thing is, they are not connected well: with highways and stroads which famously plague this city. Maybe if you are just pass through these places along the stroads, I can see how everything looks generic, but if you go the road less travelled, you'll see how unique each neighbohood is. The city is *trying* to improve transit though (I hope the subway is built soon so I don't have to get stuck in bus traffic). And besides, there's too many murals here to be *anywhere* in America!

You won't notice the big mansions is because they're secluded away and that's intentional. There's some mansions near me and you wouldn't know they are there unless you went out of your way.
Ironically, the "Beverly Hillbillies" mansion is in Bel Air, not Beverly Hills.
Bel Air is the name of the neighborhood it is in. It is actually in the city limits of Los Angeles, not Beverly Hills.
*Bel Air, Holmby Hills, Hancock Park, are in the city of Los Angeles*
*As is Hollywood*
*Now WeHO*
Through tireless determination, the City of West Hollywood
was officially incorporated as an independent City on November 29, 1984.
*Previously, West Hollywood had been an unincorporated section of Los Angeles County.*
One thing about effecting home values are and were grassy green lawn. This concept is adopted/brought from Europe in 17th century when riches plant green grass front of their houses to make their houses neat while majority of people were adapting to the geographic conditions. They gave the lawn nickname like "green carpet" or "pleasure grounds." Because of this background and history, homes with green lawns tend to have higher values in real estate market. This is why "golf" is rich people's sport.
Yes. Part of it was also the idea of a piece of ground given over to purely aesthetic use, with no economic (livestock grazing, growing crops and veggies) benefit whatsoever. A different way of 'conspicuous consumption".
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.
bet it sounded good though
😂😂
@@gangsterbroccoli Sexiest sounding ticket they’d ever heard… 😎
I grew up in the 70s after my parents divorce in Beverly hills. we went from a 4000sf house with a swimming pool in the valley to the single mothers apartment section below wilshire blvd. most of the families here were from middle, upper middle class, a large percentage jewish the persians were just beginning to arrive. the reason we moved here at the time was bussing, beverly hills was independent with a good school district. 4 k-8 and one high school. i remember one kid who needed help buying a suit for graduation when suits were only100 $. in saying that i did attend with Will shatner's and Gig young's daughters and lots of industry peoples kids. Gabriel Macht lived on the same block in an apartment until his father Stephen's success got him a house over on Rodeo dr. still in the same neighborhood. it was a good place for kids and moms.
it sound like the best summer you had.
I was dating a girl in Beverly Hills, her mom and dad worked normal jobs and they live in a nice normal duplex. The disparity is INSANE! Her friends on the other hand live in 10-20 million dollar homes in the flats/ gateway/ holmby. It’s kind of crazy that a kid can even grow up in an environment that different
That’s typical in L.A.
That’s like putting poor or middle class into super rich neighborhood’s thats overall bad idea.

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!
There's actually Bel-Air, Brentwood and Pacific Palisades that are adjacent to Beverly hills, richer, neighborhoods of LA and closer to the ocean.
No so, West Hollywood was until mid 80's then it became incorporated, on the other hand Bellaire is in and part of the city of lost angels.
it is in LA,CO that's why they need permission to do thing just like S,PAS, Alhambra, and other city in S. calif.
Yup, Beverly Hills also has its own public school district. insane lol
a lot of city's in LACO had their own schools and police@@Cheezfuz92
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
Beverly Hills also needs to be forced to build more housing.
@@TheManiple I wholeheartedly agree. I live right outside of BH and it's really easy to see where the dividing line between it and WeHo is, because on WeHo's side there are dense midrise apartment complexes, and on BH's side, there's nothing but bougey overpriced single-family homes on quarter-acre lots. Makes me sick tbh.
That's the parasitic story of most suburbs, exploiting their proximity to cities they contribute nothing to support...
Careful what you wish for. BH would be better off not paying any taxes to LA, and providing for their own needs.
The land was cheaper when it was developed 100+ years ago. Nobody should be forced to demolish their private home and build high density housing just because the "free market" says the land value is higher. High property prices does not mean everyone living there has an income high enough to afford the market price.
@@R.-. so then let them build their own utilities within the boundaries of the city. They shouldn’t be receiving help from LA in any way
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.
Add São Paulo
That's a great idea! Looks like he liked your comment so hopefully he turns that into a video! I think you will find at least 2 major categories that attract large ethnic diverse population:
1. Proximity to another country. Think of Mexicans in the southwest, Florida with many Caribbean & south Americans, and lesser extent Asians in the west coast
2. Jobs. Specific types of jobs that attract international people. Bay Area & NYC are great examples.
And once you have a growing population of an ethnic group, it will attract more of that group.
@@bearcb Does Brazil get that many immigrants though? I know that they did in the past but I've heard that now no one wants to move to Brazil.
Though it is interesting to me that Brazil has the largest Lebanese and Japanese diaspora populations in the world.
@@carfreeneoliberalgeorgisty5102 Also the largest African population out side of Africa.But you're right, no one wants to move to Brazil anymore, in the past they did but not anymore.
@@carfreeneoliberalgeorgisty5102 you talked about cultural and ethnic diversity, and that São Paulo has plenty of. It doesn't get much immigration from Europe or Japan anymore (mostly business people now), but still atracts people from South America and Africa.
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”
Here in my town in FL a lot of the wealthiest people are attorneys, politicians, etc… they can be scene in cycling clubs, walking around the fancier neighborhoods, etc. But this is Florida, people live here to be outside.
The wealthiest hood in NYC is Chelsea, not the upper east side. There are plenty of other parts of NYC that are extremely wealthy as well and totally walkable. I don't ask people their incomes but most all of the wealthy parts of Manhattan are extremely walkable, so it is safe to say they do walk there and "pop into shops"
I would guess that there are, but the walkable areas are themselves part of the wealthy enclave - islands inside of islands, as the video says, where you go to do something (shop, probably) rather than a place that's necessarily part of the community (a park, a small business). It is, in a sense, walking and cycling as a social status thing rather than for any inherent purpose.
There's that place on top of the hills in San Francisco that's supposedly the bee's knees, because of the severe building restrictions. Is it Presidio Heights or Pacific Heights? The point is, just because of the restrictions, they can't just tear the houses down and build Mega McMansions there. It's supposedly the most expensive real estate in the US.
Greenwich Village in New York City comes to mind.
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.
It reminds me of the movie Slums of Beverly Hills.
The flats of Beverly Hills is SUPER walkable and the streets are extremely wide… you “could” walk from your mansion to rodeo or little santa monica pretty easily.
I would love to see a video on annexation/consolidation of cities (benefits, drawbacks, etc.). Boston and its surrounding cities/towns/suburbs is a really interesting case study.
Boston has some crazy city borders. Just from a map perspective one would expect that Cambridge and Brookline would have already been annexed.
Its also hilarious to me that "Harvard Bridge" connects directly between MIT and Boston. (The road does go to Harvard, but MIT is right there)
Swimming pools actually are not big water users...people fill them once and they typically stay full with a trickle of a few hundred gallons a week. Also, the people in Beverly Hills can afford to buy expensive pool covers to reduce evaporation and take good care of them so they don't need to be drained and cleaned more than a couple times during the lifetime of the pool. It's a fallacy that swimming pools are a drain on limited water resources
Lawns and landscaping is another story entirely: this is truly the biggest water user, which is why Las Vegas is making property owners remove lawns and no longer allowing new homes to install live grass. It's the DESERT, duh! Drought-tolerant native vegetation should always have been the requirement, it's about time this was regulated.
the wet prince of bel-air has used 11.8 billion Gallons of water a year.
1:06 actually Beverly Hills also shares border with the city of West Hollywood. Meaning that Beverly Hills/West Hollywood together are completely surrounded by the city of Los Angeles
Can you do similarly high end enclaves in cities that are considered poor. Roland Park in Baltimore comes naturally to my mind, although there are probably similar ones in Detroit, St.Louis, Cleveland etc.
Tying together your thoughts about community power and density, I wish you had mentioned that, in spite of legal fights with ridiculous arguments, Beverly Hills will get a subway station in the next 5 years. In spite of their best efforts, BH actually has ample transit access-because they know they need it. BH might be super wealthy, but the people who work there aren’t, and downtown Beverly Hills is Erbse enough that transit is the only way to bring that nang workers to the city.
There was a recent story of Beverly Hills imposing strict regulations in regards to dog parks and so that only residents there can take their dogs there.
S. Pasadena has the same even in their tennis park.
I work in Beverly Hills and my drive from the SFV into Beverly Hills is one of the most beautiful commutes in the country
When I visited LA this year one of the things that most stood out to me about Beverly Hills is that there are no hire bike stations, making it needlessly hard to get to and around.
overall great video, however I’d add that ALL the neighborhoods south of Sunset Blvd have sidewalks and are incredibly pedestrian friendly. Also the neighborhoods south of Wilshire Blvd have numerous small apartment buildings mixed in with more modest single family homes
Very interesting, I learnt something new today😊
I watched this on Nebula, but am commenting here for the algorithm.
I grew up in Beverly Hills, I'm also half Persian (not Jewish, though), this video is the first time I've seen someone accurately describe the city. My family was considered middle class for BH standards, and we lived in the very south side of the city, which to this day has a completely different vibe and people from the side north of Santa Monica Blvd. I never lived in a mansion, but moved between apartments and duplexes. Would I live there again? Probably not, the city is pretty stagnant in development and is full of NIMBYs (including my mom at one point), but BH, or at least my neighborhood, was definitely very nice to live in as a kid.
What are NIMBY's?
@@Notfallkaramell Stands for Not In My Backyard. It describes people who consider themselves left-leaning but will reject anything related to new infastructure in their neighborhood because it will ruin the character or property value or something like that.
Great video my grandparents had a house on Coldwater on BH border with LA the joke was houses south of Wilshire was called the slums of Beverly Hills my friend moved from the valley to that area in charleville st with all those apartments near there did look like it was a less expensive area

Excellent! Many thanks. Your tutoring proficiency is evident, congrats.keep it up.
As a non american I didn't really know what Beverly Hills was other than a wealthy neighborhood on some hills, but given your description I'm surprised how tiny the lots are. Don't the rich and famous usually have a huge property somewhere outside the city and a rooftop apartment in the center? Those houses are such a weird in-between. No real privacy, less greenspace than rural middle class gardens, but also little infrastructure. How can a location alone be so expensive, can you use it for networking? I expected a tax haven story like it would be here in Europe but there was no mention of that.
The houses are beautiful and well built, which is very uncommon in most of the US in the west half. The privacy is good, not bad. The access to the rest of the LA area is very good. Great views, great weather. Very high density of high network people to communicate with.
Yes and no. The communities that you describe for the rich (far from the city and huge) exist in the LA area and are even more expensive than BH. For example, the Kardashians live in Calabasas which is an entire mountain range away from anything resembling city life, so much that Kylie Jenner takes 15min private jet rides to get anywhere.
But places like that are literally just for living, BH is a rich area that also gives you some accessibility to civilization lol.
A good medium between that in LA is thr neighborhood of Bel Air, where the mansions are bigger than BH but you're still adjacent to the city. Downside to there is that BA is not it's own city, so the rich people there are still subject to city of LA laws and can't politics their way into what they want 100% of the time (they are still rich enough to get their way 90% of the time, honestly)
Downtown Beverly hills is actually one of the most walkable areas in LA. Plus the subway will open in a couple years.
I got lucky and pay $1450/month for my apartment in BH. It's way under marketprice.
Rancho Rodeo de las Aguas was a Mexican ranch, and not a Spanish ranch.
Oops, sorry! Good point.
A neighbourhood made for living does not need to be open and "welcoming" for visitors. It's designed for the residents
Oh but it should, tourism dollars are much and you'd be silly to keep them out, or does your town like making its money off the backs of your poor communities
@@susannpatton2893 I said neighbourhood not entire town/ city..
They absolutely shouldn't. Residential areas are for living, there are other places for attractions
People who live in the rich portion of Beverly Hills have more than one home.

Love the video, but I must clear up the pronunciation of Trousdale Estates. It's actually pronounced Trues-dale. I would not know if it were not be for the show Ray Donovan because his wife always talked about wanting to move there. Keep up the good work!
The same people that live in Beverly Hills and consume way more than the average person are the ones telling the average person to consume less.🙄
Generalizations aren't facts. I've been a resident of BH for almost 30 years and know way more people who conserve and reduce far more than those who don't within my town.
I drove through Beverly Hills north of Santa Monica Blvd and I was kind of shocked. It is such a rich city but the infrastructure is quite poor. Then again Rodeo area is alright especially compared to West Hollywood or basically anything else in LA.
Again though, it's surprising that the bar is so low in LA even with so much international appeal and money flowing through it.
Bar is so low for whom exactly? The people who can't afford to live there?
The lack of "infrastructure" is not a bug, it's a feature. Way they see it, they want to discourage too much population density around to keep the riff raff out. If you can't afford to have a car, then you're shit out of luck lol
The only money that is coming in there is from the Chinese
The infrastructure is quite poor?? Care to elaborate how? Where abouts you were exactly? Especially since north of SM Blvd actually encompasses most of BH
Thank you for sharing.😊😊
And Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to you!😊😊😊
I always thought that Beverly Hills became famous when the Hillbillies
Moved in.
Would love to see a video about The City of West Hollywood! It’s right next to Beverly Hills and is quite interesting in and of itself
Very sad that the "White House" of the West Coast, "Pickfair" which was built by Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. and Mary Pickford was torn down as was Rudolph Valentino's "Falcon Lair" also torn down.
Two of the most famous homes in Beverly Hills torn down and exist no longer!
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

You can rent in BH and there is at least when I lived there, rent control. It's also a city full of tourists which is a lot of the cars you would see since most rent your basic cars and not luxury ones that some car rental companies have. I must admit that eating and shopping in BH just felt different then doing the same thing a mile away in Los Angeles.
I like the topics you cover, but the audio constantly cutting out for a split second mid sentence was jarring. I thought it might have been my speakers, but it's the editing techniques.
It’s so for me; I wish I could live there.

Beverly Hills was able to survive LA Annexation due to it being one of the original members of the Metropolitan Water District.
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.
pass ,id rather be in san Marino in a 1950 modern ranch with the 'old money"
I would like to see a comparison between Beverly hills and Monaco. Both are places for the richest, but to me the fibe looks completely different. Monaco is more walkable, everything more accessible for tourists or non residents (ie normal people) and the very rich people live in tiny apartments.
Monaco is a principality trying to maximize land Beverly Hills is much larger land and car driven culture you can’t compare
There are also apartments and condos in Beverly Hills - I could see some of those residents being lower income. Especially retired folks.
You missed the urban part of Beverly Hills completely. Between Santa Monica Blvd. and Wilshire Blvd. there are some large new apartment buildings. South of Wilshire the area is dominated by small apartment buildings, the missing middle housing beloved of urbanists. Beverly Hills has four frequent bus corridors and will soon, despite local protests, have a subway. Your picture is incomplete.
Love this! One trend that I've noticed, is celebrities moving from Beverly Hills to Malibu to Pacific Palisades. And then there are some who move to Calabasas. I wonder if Beverly Hills is a lot less desirable these days for the ultra wealthy.
There's significantly more people now so there's more space out in places like Calabasas despite burning down frequently.
Burning down, heh. Yeah, it surprises me because it gets so hot in the summer there. I forgot to mention Montecito. I wonder if that will keep populating. It's a bit out of the way for commuting to the studios, though..
'native lawns' arent really a thing in most of la. the majority of native grasses grow tall, and in bunches. theyre nothing like turf grass. alot of la was either wetlands, woodlands or coastal sage scrub before we paved over the ecosystem. and when la was paying people to take out their turf grass, people unfortunately replaced it with foreign desert plants, rocks, and invasives. so flooding got worse, native plants got out competed, and without native flowers and native fruit trees, the wildlife continues to decline. people even tried to plant more trees for the birds but without the flowers to attract insects, birds had no reason to stay

The Russia Ukraine war has served to accentuate a state of recession in the economy though it might only seem obvious in the oil sector. it’s quite crucial to be mindful of the state of your finances to prevent sinking under.

That got me richer than I ever thought possible even in the present economy
that's remarkable!. how did you manage to achieve those results
I’m not some expert. I'm an engineer but I used the help of one. You might have heard about the popular Maria Victoria Caicedo. She's the CEO of Vayroko and an expert in the workings of the financial markets. I love delegating tasks and in this aspect of my life, I'm happy she's the one in charge
impressive. can she handle a mid sized portfolio. I just looked up the company and I am intrigued by the wonderful reviews of Maria online. I am very much interested in this
I would guess yes judging from the size of my account under management since it's a fairly large one. you can still send her an enquiry to know exactly what terms you guys can work with. I can only vouch for the results I've seen. and to think that I've seen so much in after tax gains is what marvels me the most.

If BH was smart it would tie its affordable housing projects TO the upcoming Metro station inside city limits. Yes this area is the rich downtown commercial district but many of those walkable areas would be even better with apartments above the shops in bougie 5 over 1's... And yes they could even install vertical gardens, solar panels and privacy screens to make it seem more 90210-esque...

Honestly I though you where going to break into song with that opening.
"In Beverly Hills it's who you know... And I know everyone"
Im a resident of Beverly Hills (i live in southern beverly hills), it is surprising affordable to live in an apartment here compared to many other "good" parts of the LA area like Santa Monica. It is surprisingly walkable and you don't need to get a car to go to the grocery store or run errands. Downtown Beverly Hills and south Beverly Hills are very walkable, I usually leave my car at home if I need to go to the post office, get groceries or do anything that is in Beverly Hills. I am excited for the subway to open, however I don't like the idea of it running under the high school as it was once an active oil field and may contain a lot of pockets of methane gas. The rounting and century city station under Santa Monica Blvd was a much better idea that a lot of people supported. Either way, I really hate driving downtown and want to take the subway!
