My initial reaction was to remind you that hyperbole is a literary device that helps writing avoid becoming stale and dry, and to suggest that if you preferred something black-and-white and by the numbers, you might enjoy reading the tax code or the phone book. Then I realized you thought I was kidding about people in Montford being harassed to sell their homes, which I assure you I am not.
Although, take heart. Sometimes the rich twat is from Charlotte or Raleigh, and a few people I know have even opened their doors to find Washingtonians and New Yorkers wanting to buy. The one time I witnessed it personally, though, it was someone from California.
