  They actually trick you into thinking this is the &quot;best view&quot; money can buy. The best view is surrounded by nature, not concrete.

  &quot;...the stranger I act, the more convincing it is that I&apos;m actually a billionaire&quot; Truer words were never spoken. One of the best short videos I&apos;ve watched in a long time.

  Her talking about how we always view poverty from the bottom and not from the top just hit me like a truck. We focus on the problem but not what causes it.

  There was something so dystopian about that male real estate agent’s voice

  I love how she made it a point talking about the large shadows these buildings cast. Never thought about that. Taking away the sunlight

  Those people showing her around spoke in a way I thought only existed in movies and stories!

  I&apos;m a porter in this fancy 30-story building, and guess what? That penthouse on the top floor, costing a whopping 13 million, still hasn&apos;t sold. &nbsp;The building&apos;s eight years old already.

  It&apos;s telling that her accent alone allows the &apos;scam&apos; to exist in her project. She already seems like a mysterious rich buyer because of it. Nobody with an American accent could have pulled this off.

  Her mention at the end about shadows cast by buildings where the rich don&apos;t even live impacting everyday people for me was the most profound thing in this video.

  The most telling thing is that the more outlandish her behavior, the more the agents believed that she was ultra rich. Its because those people are completely detached from reality and insulated from consequence.

  It is ridiculous that so many people had to give up their access to sunny views of the outdoors so some of the elite can have access to ultra luxury places that they don&apos;t even occupy. How crazy. In Japan, it has been illegal for DECADES to put up a building that would block your neighbor&apos;s access to sunlight. That shows where our priorities are in this nation. All about the money.
