I've traveled through and lived in many places all across America.
I've lived across the LA river from Compton CA, that is "Ghetto" for you
locals, and Logging towns in WA state, about as white as you can get.
I served in the Military Vietnam era.
My comment is this, I did not move to Hawaii, to expect them to change to my
perception of what the place should be like.  I have to adapt and adopt.
America is the same, don't suddenly decide that America needs to change to
conform to your culture, Democrat, you conform and adapt to American culture.
Democrats are not Americans, they are Democrats.
That is all.

You just described LA and San Francisco. 

Pelosi represents San Francisco -- CA's US 12th District:

the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.

Let's be honest Nancy doesn't live in that Disney Castle. When not in DC she lives in Napa Valley. That fortress in SF is just an insanely expensive P.O.Box so she is eligible to hold office.

True.  Her primary residence is listed as Georgetown, Washington D.C., just 15 minutes from the White House and Capitol.

Its almost as if you can inherit money and/or family can earn.  You can make investments etc.    You should know the orange man did similar.

Its not really 'investing' if you buy stocks right before you pass bills that will inflate their value the next day. Pelosi didnt 'earn' $200M working in politics by speculating, she only bought in on sure things.

Paul Pelosi, owns and operates a San Francisco-based investment firm.

You know their networth is tied together?  She probably isn't the breadwinner.  Its not hard to make money when you have money.  Its even less difficult if your significant other earns it for you.

Nancy Pelosi’s Recent Stock Purchase Raises Important Ethics Issues For All Of Congress

https://www.newsmax.com/InsideCover/pelosi-stock-insider-60minutes/2011/11/13/id/417848/

Pelosi, D-Calif., and her husband have participated in at least eight IPOs while having access to information directly relating to the companies involved. One of those came in 2008, from Visa, just as a troublesome piece of legislation that would have hurt credit card companies, began making its way through the House.

“Undisturbed by a potential conflict of interest the Pelosis purchased 5,000 shares of Visa at the initial price of $44 dollars. Two days later it was trading at $64. The credit card legislation never made it to the floor of the House

If you make the Rules, you're the Breadwinner!

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s home district includes San Francisco.

Star-Kist Tuna’s headquarters are in San Francisco, Pelosi’s home district.
Star-Kist is owned by Del Monte Foods and is a major contributor to Pelosi.
Star-Kist is the major employer in American Samoa employing 75 percent of the Samoan workforce.
Paul Pelosi, Nancy’s husband, owns $17 million dollars of Star-Kist stock.
In January, 2007 when the minimum wage was increased from $5.15 to $7.25, Pelosi had American Samoa exempted from the increase so Del Monte would not have to pay the higher wage. This would make Del Monte products less expensive than their competition’s.
Last week when the huge bailout bill was passed, Pelosi added an earmark to the final bill adding $33 million dollars for an “economic development credit in American Samoa.”
