Central Park was one of the first real estate projects launched for the middle class. It not only has the small villas in Grant Wood's "American Gothic" paintings, but also has a large number of high-quality owners such as celebrities, lawyers, doctors, engineers, and company executives. This can be seen from the two lines of small German text on the back of the sculpture at the entrance to Central Park: "The economic base determines the superstructure."
Of course Karl Marx was right. The economic foundation determines what type of apartment, area and even how many private parking spaces an owner can buy in Central Park. Therefore, a chain of contempt is formed.
Standing at the top of the chain of contempt are the owners of Phase 1 Beverly. For example, the Hu family on No. 1. This old couple has money and leisure. Even after retirement, they can still make money every day and lead an enviable life. However, I heard that their only son, who is studying for a PhD at MIT, is crazy!
The houses in Palm Beach in the second phase are worse than those in Beaver, but Engineer Sun and his family are still winners in life in the eyes of outsiders. The Sun family gave birth to three young boys at one go. They were all tall and full of aura. From a distance, they looked as strong as three calves. Who couldn't say hello to them? However, this couple came from the place where they came from. They decorated the beautiful villa to look like a farmhouse, and their aesthetic standards really lowered the standard of the entire Central Park.
The housing types in the third phase of Napa Valley are worse than those in the first and second phases. The owners who live here can be considered well-off if they can, but there is still a certain gap between the middle-class level required by Central Park. But the two couples who got married on the 5th are really like the male and female protagonists in idol dramas in Central Park. These two couples are definitely representatives of the "three highs" of the new era: high education, high salary, good looks, handsome man and beautiful woman, they are like this no matter where they stand. Moreover, this young couple already has a daughter and a son at a young age, making them a good couple. No matter how you look at it, they are upstarts with great potential. However, I heard that this seemingly glamorous couple is actually a poor man who lives for a living and has no financial resources at all...
In short, the life of the middle class is miserable.
