    This is the place that caught fire.

    This is the place across the street.

    I dunno, if I’m in my 70s making $240 a month and living in a shipping container that I don’t technically own while the guy across the street’s putting in skyscrapers, I might be inclined to call my situation comparatively not that great. I say that like that’s not better than my current retirement plan, but that’s beside the point.

      Ah see that article has a completely different framing than the OP. The OP make sit seem that it’s the Gangnam District that’s known to be wealthy directly, not a “slum” nearby.

      That is extremely important context that Reuters seems to have missed/ignored.
