That's because the video mentions wind patterns in the northern hemisphere, On the east coast of Australia, living is more expensive to the east because it's closer to the beach.

@@TroyKnox isn't everything the opposite south of the equator?? you toilet water spins counter-clockwise??? that fits.

In Sydney, the coastal areas are to the east, which is more desirable.

@@Dwightstjohn-fo8ki This myth has been debunked way too many times by now. The vortex spin direction has nothing to do with the location

Places near natural harbours are always the most developed and costlier. They always have big ports and are international trade hubs. They often fall to the west side of the land due to wind I suppose. I've always found natural harbours as the ultimate reason coastal cities are always most populous, followed by cities next to major rivers. More trade = more wealth

Around here, the beach areas are rich, then it gets poor once you get 2-4 miles inland, then richer as you go further west. Generally, the further west you go out of the city the more recently the suburb was built.

Your explanation is far more plausible. I have been to over 30 countries and I'm thinking hard about all the cities I've been to. I don't see any obvious wind-related trend. If anything, what you said is correct. The rich have bought up real estate by the seaside with an ocean view, while inland areas tend to be poorer.

​@Tyler Haraf Chicago's divide is more north-rich, south-poor. Same in Atlanta. The video mentioned Paris, but it's more north-poor than east-poor. In cities like Sydney and Auckland, it's the west side that are working class. The video's thesis sounds pretty flimsy to me. And we haven't even talked about new cities that have sprung up in Asia where most of the world lives - especially in China and India. While I don't know about economics within cities in China, the geoeconomic trend there is that the coast (east) is rich while the inland part (west) is poor, exactly the opposite to Europe because it's only the other side of the Eurasian landmass. I think Thomas Grabkowski's explanation is far more plausible.

Cities are overrated anyway.

In New York, the east and west sides are generally where the projects are kinda pushed off closer to the the East River and the Hudson River in the west. In the middle is a higher socio-economic class. My guess is they they want the PJs outta site from tourists and richer residents

@Gilad Penn - Imagine a pre-Koch USA, in which the right worked from the same set of facts as everyone else, rather than demanding “alternative fact” all their own: Eisenhower could warn against the military-industrial complex, Nixon could start an environmental agency and place price controls on food staples, mom-and-pop shops were everywhere, there were local department stores rather than big box chains, consolidation and hedge funds and mergers & acquisitions had not yet killed off all the local banks and all the local hospitals, cops generally weren’t given military equipment or told to treat their neighborhoods as hostile occupied territory, in areas such as civil rights where we lagged behind we were at least trying to progress and to improve things, we had robust civic participation in politics, and ample public spaces and public services… I got to experience part of that, and it was grand! But beginning in the 1980s, the Charles Koch-ification of the USA and of the world, which in the ‘60s and ‘70s his “Donor Network” had begun preparing to set into motion, sprang into full effect… and now here we are. We can’t even convince the right to wear masks during a pandemic. Believe me, it wasn’t always like it is now. The best thing the USA could do now is to exile Charles Koch to Elba, break up Koch Industries and the Koch Donor Network, and give all that money back to humanity. Believe me, we once nearly lived in the future! Then Charles Koch dragged us all back into a horrible past…

Honestly it’s probably many reasons, and that is probably one of them as well

Interesting thought, but cities are typically built from the center and outwards, not in a general direction. Typically, there's a specific set of features that make it a good place to start a settlement and then things grow from there. So it wouldn't really work for cities, although it would make a lot more sense when looking at the US as a nation, where things really did grow from east to west (but then more likely the opposite, as more history tends to result in more wealth).

@@fanbuoy9234 You are correct about center out, but in many or most older cities this is complicated because most of them are built on the edge or shores of a body of water--sea, lake, river ... And in some cases squidged between hills or mountains and a body of water (e.g., a lot of Mediterranean cities, Rhineland). So growth may not be circular.

@@elainechubb971 Agreed, nature of course sets boundaries. I recently flew over Erbil in Iraq and that was fascinated, as it was the most circular city I've ever seen.
