One Hyde Park and the Virtue of Absent Billionaire Neighbors

Tim raves about staying near One Hyde Park, the world's priciest residential building, and argues the best neighbors are oligarchs, sheikhs, and criminals who are never home and never share their political opinions.
- The best neighbors are not home because they're off somewhere doing a genocide, not there to complain or create awkward run-ins.
- Rich neighbors in bulletproof glass garages with X-ray machines and British special forces guards oddly don't want to tell you what they think about everything.
- Russian oligarchs, sheikhs, Chinese amusement park tycoons, and Brazilian mining magnates are nice because they keep their opinions to themselves and don't want you to know they're your neighbor.
- One Hyde Park apartment on sale for five million, with the next one up at seventeen million—that premium is what you pay to live in a building where billionaires don't want you to know they exist there.
- Living in essentially a hotel for billionaire criminals is the best arrangement because they keep to themselves and don't bother you.
