When the locals cried green-wash, the elite developer cried class envy. Welcome to Paradise Valley.
  • What to write.

    My first newspaper job was a short stint at the Livingston Enterprise in the late 1970s. I had a chance to buy some land in Paradise Valley, but didn't. Clearly I was stupid not to do so.

    Paradise Valley is one of those special places, like Hanalei in Hawaii or Santa Fe. The excessively rich and bored always seem to take them over. That which was the reason in the first place to find them appealing evaporates.

    If I'd bought that Paradise Valley land, I could be excessively rich and bored. Shit.
