Hypocrite?
 
J. McDonald Williams is the former head of Trammell Crow Co. in Dallas. He recently gave a speech to a crowd of prominent developers at the Dallas Country Club.
 
Mr. Williams decried the disparity in wealth between the poor and rich. He talked about how it was up to those men to bring change to Southern Dallas. He excoriated the businessmen for "isolating themselves out here in Highland Park."
 
I thought to myself that surely a man who would make such statements must have built his home in Southern Dallas or some other less-prosperous area. So out of curiosity I did a little research. Let's just say that Mr. Williams lives close to a Dallas university in a neighborhood where prominent businessmen tend to "isolate themselves."
