New Pet Peeve, and a Riff on Hanlon

When I was 25, I used to say my pet peeve was dumb bosses. now I'm 39, and I'd like to refresh that to say, that my pet peeve is now a lazy board. You might have heard of Hanlon's Razor ... I now present Jerng's Trimmer :

Comparison of four KL neighbourhoods for an endowed expat



Damansara Heights :
- farthest from poor people
- good for introverts, who need upper-class amenities

Bangsar :
- more integrated with middle-income crowds, so more small trade than DH
- better for extroverts

Kiara :
- condo park, vertical ghetto
- farthest from city centre
- internally congested AF, but has decent freeways and highways once you squirm out
- no immediate train lines
- probably best for extroverts who enjoy a mixed-income jostle

Bukit Tunku :
- closest to city centre
- island with no poor people, but close to Sunway Putra Mall and Chow Kit which serve lower-income groups, and Dutamas, Publika, Kiara on the other side which serve higher-income groups
- good for introverts, fewer amenities
