Vassar is for kids who don’t care about the financial ROI of their degree. They go there to major in English/Drama/Art History and get a low-paying knowledge economy job in New York where the degree still has a decent amount of clout.

“A kid-hating crone has turned a luxury Upper East Side building into a living hell for her upstairs neighbors — driving at least three families out of their apartments all while racking up nearly $88,000 in unpaid rent, a new lawsuit claims.
Anne Stockton, 72, is being sued by the owner of 85 East End Avenue for allegedly tormenting the family of five currently living in the unit directly above her cushy, $1,775-a-month rent-stabilized apartment on the 10th floor.”

The exclusivity of having lived so far uptown that half of the maps of “Manhattan” don’t include your neighborhood.
Interestingly Israel’s potential first Mizrahi prime minister has an Ashkenazified last name (Azencot which became Eisenkot).
