I downvoted you for the ludicrous statement that middle-class is $200k in household income, especially in a mid-to-small-size city.
Wages have not been keeping up with costs or you might have a point.
- ryanSrich 10y agoI think people are misinterpreting my opinion of what middle class should be and the realities of what the middle class has become.
- albedoa 10y agoOkay, but the submission says the middle class can't afford to live in cities anymore. You're saying, "Of course they can! Otherwise they wouldn't be middle class."
- mercer 10y agoCould you elaborate (honest question)? My point of reference is The Netherlands, so I have very little context for that figure, as it would be ludicrously high for middle class over here (in part for very understandable reasons, welfare state and whatnot). I'm mostly curious about your views of the middle class and what they should be.
- contracantor 10y agoI agree with you, unfortunately people can't buy property based on what we believe middle class should be. The reality is property is cities is not affordable for the middle class. How to solve that is another problem.
