Silicon Valley pastor resigns after calling Palo Alto ‘elitist den of hate’
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/pastor-resigns-calling-palo-alto-elitist-den-hate-article-1.4004052"I believe Palo Alto is a ghetto of wealth, power, and elitist liberalism by proxy, meaning that many community members claim to want to fight for social justice issues, but that desire doesn't translate into action," he told the Guardian.
"The insane wealth inequality and the ignorance toward actual social justice is absolutely terrifying," he said.
I think I may have driven through once but a long time ago.

Yes, I read about this last week and the Pastor, is correct to a certain degree. I tend to find this true for most wealth areas in California (Atherton, Berkeley, Redwood shores) . People say one thing but act in a different way, this ties into wealth inequality issues. The gap is every increasing.
