Class in the city? Not for Hong Kong





Judging by readers' feedback, it seems much of Manhattan is still exercised by a recent piece in The New York Times on class distinction in the city. Class snobbery was increasingly based on property, the article said. It sounded like Manhattan was growing to resemble Hong Kong in this respect.
