Suppose the ultra rich even made a deal with the gangs. If they get enough perqs, the gangs can leave them alone. They themselves could punish people who interrupt the gravy train. Most middle class people couldn't run big finance. The gangs would probably know not to interfere with them.
The rich can shrug off a few years of taxes as the city clears up of overcrowding, then they can encourage some of the poor to move on or perhaps secure federal funding to support them.
The rich would then be rewarded with a less-crowded big city.
Big finance can do big finance anywhere, especially where they won't be taxed.
You must develop the ability to be disliked in order to free yourself from the prison of other people's opinions.
