    That’s not weird at all if you consider the rich want to employ cheap laborers to support their lifestyle (maids, chauffeur, gardeners, kitchen staffs, etc) , but don’t want them to live in the same neighborhood, so you’ll have slum naturally developed near the rich area.

      closeness doesn’t work very well here, if you are a rich fella on one side and your maid, cook, gardener, etc lives on the other side of the hill, they would have to take a long trip down one valley and then up the other to get to you, cuz there is a wall in the middle
