I'm in New Orleans. Our cities form of status is totally who you know. Money is not as big of adeal. A billionaire has less clout than the owner of a operation that designs Mardi Gras floats or the bartender that is the lead of the Krewe of Elvi.
I think that is what you would call "Soul" possibly.
After travelling to a bunch of other cities and seeing unfettered capitalism destroy communities, neighborhoods, housing markets, livability, and peoples lives..it's a pretty refreshing place to be.
On the flip side our economy is absolutely terrible.
