Plus the city has grown so fast that Karen became a suburban. Wealthy mzungus don't traditionally live in suburbs. They traditionally live in countrysides under freehold titles.

Cinemas, shopping, gisty hotels, more stuff to do... I imagine they have proper home theaters that would rival the movie theaters we have. And anyway, who would want to mingle with the urban folk of today? They can still drive/fly to gisty hotels and do that more stuff when they are around. But honestly urban life is overrated.
