One of the things that America’s ultra-wealthy elite want more than anything else is spaces where access is very tightly controlled so that they can remain separate from those of us in the general population.  When I was growing up, getting into the right club or the right neighborhood was considered to be a status symbol, but these days the primary purpose of “controlled access” institutions is to keep the wrong people out.  The ultra-wealthy elite can see what is happening to the general population as a whole, and they simply do not want to interact with it.  As a result, our society is increasingly being segregated according to wealth.  Those that have lots of money get to live the high life, while most of the rest of us are deeply struggling.
