Disney hates poor people

I beg your pardon? What Disney parks are supposed to be?

According to whom?

Pardon me if I leave the expertise in that area to Walt Disney. And the only functioning theme park he ever built was on a tiny plot of land in booming Southern California. Since it also happens to have remained the best of the so-called Disney parks despite ten later theme parks under that brand, I'm going to credit Walt Disney with knowing what he was bloody hell doing.

I'm a little curious as to what Alex's statement is supposed to mean- I wasn't aware that DL was anything but a dynamic idea that took off and just is what it is, surroundings and all. Change anything and you just might mess up what makes it Disneyland. It's a wonderful quilt of different time periods, cultures and influences and I love it for precisely that reason.

It is simply a fact that what Disneyland tries to be is not compatible with residential living and that is only going to become an ever increasing problem for the park.
