The whole ritzy look and allure of Beverly Hills, has lately been under a microscope, especially with the 2 big development projects with Hilton and Robinson's May being the center of attention. Both projects are now having their own share of set backs, one got beat in the polls by a very slim margin and the other is trying to find an alternative to its financing.

Now the Beverly Hills needs to come up with funds from elsewhere to keep up all the city services, education and development programs it is so well known for. There is a certain age group and income group that lives in Beverly Hills, that does not have the financial means or accept...
