AnnStavanger is a sneaky town. It was built on herring over some decades two centuries ago, and at the same time, also built a merchant class. Because someone had to organize, right?
After the herring had gone, eh, been eaten, Stavanger became the canning town - until the Americans discovered oil and gas outside the coastline in the 1960ies.
Does rich Stavanger have poor areas? Yes, it has. Are there class differences in Stavanger? Yes, it is. But, it is still one of the most equal towns in Norway, the riches are fairly distributed.
