Bloomfield Hills
The second wealthiest incorporated place in the U.S. after another
Hills in California, the 2,000 upscale homes of Bloomfield Hills
are inhabited by many corporate CE Os? and celebrities.
While Detroit's old, inherited money has tended to stay along Lake
St. Clair in the Grosse Pointes, Bloomfield Hills is less conservative
in style, if not in politics. Less stuffy, some would say, and
more fashionable. (Read: Less Ventrue, more Toreador and Tremere.)
Glittery charity fundraisers play a big role in many residents' lives.
Privacy, prestige, and service is what living in Bloomfield Hills
is all about. It's residents have little time for even the pretense
of the small town lifestyle. The city's "bare pavement" snow
removal policy ensures that every street is salted. Ninety percent
of the homes are connected to the city's private emergency dispatch
system. Kitchen delivery men, like the modernized milkmen of old,
walk right up to resident's kitchens to fill orders of groceries.
Those kindred with the finances and the desire for it make their
havens here. A few own mansions themselves and keep the premises
staffed with their own ghouls and servants, while others choose
to live among their mortal descendants or in complete secret inside
a sprawling estate. Transportation to the easy feeding areas of
downtown is always a concern, so having one's herd living nearby
is also common here.
