To sum it up briefly in my opinion -
1/2 the people who live there or go there, have it (money, lifestyle, success etc), and the other 1/2 want it.
I agree with fultond about it being seedy and expensive.
You will see quite a few VERY old men going round with young dolly birds on their arms.
Could be to do with the money they have?
On the plus side the harbour and surroundings are lovely
