Who thinks of these kind of things? Having separate doors based on income? WTF? ...Who would feel flattered by using the rich door? I'd feel embarrassed to live in a building where the difference between people is made so obvious and degrading.Developers Installed a 'Poor Door' and a 'Rich Door' on a London Apartment Building
London is a landmark of inequality. The top tenth of the city’s workers earn around four and a half times as much as the bottom tenth, a bigger divide than anywhere else in the country, and that latter group are being pushed out of their homes to make way for new luxury apartments marketed to people who will never live in them. Social cleansing disguised as “regeneration” by developers and local governments.
There’s probably no more tangible example of this than the “poor doors” installed at One Commercial Street, a luxury apartment building in the East End. Home to a number of tenants receiving government benefits for their housing, as well as all the affluent city workers the whole thing was presumably built for, there are two separate doors to the building: one for the rich, one for the poor. The rich door involves smoked glass and a concierge; the poor door is off an alley favored by drunk weekend warriors stumbling around after getting a late night snack. http://www.vice.com/read/one-commercial ... rotest-101
Lovely neighborhood parties, I imagine.
