I can't remember all of the details, but one of the doctors in the practice where my wife works had a son living there up until about five years ago. He was in a secure, gated community, but had to commute to downtown Johannesburg. His wife and kids never left the neighborhood. It had its own school and the neighborhood association provided shopping services and the like. He sent them to New York and remained behind for a year or two tying up loose ends, professionally and financially. In the end, he walked away from the house and some other assets. It was worth it to him, though.
