Alpine, NJ is in the winners' circle
Experts say the phenomenon of the newly rich gravitating
toward country-club enclaves like Alpine is well established
in American society.
The old adage is crowding into the winner’s circle
and so these superaffluent communities are very desirable
for the big winners in our society, and there’s always
the contrast between the old money and new money.
-- Jim Hughes,
Dean of the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and
Public Policy at Rutgers University.
Especially in the case of hip-hop stars, many of whom insist
they’ll never lose touch with their street roots.
