Sorry if this sounds rude, it's not meant to be, but as a foreigner, I really cannot fathom why what are basically homeless people would be called "middle class". How can you be "middle class" and poor at the same time ? What is the definition of "middle class" ?
- johngalt 9y agoThe people in this scenario aren't poor. They simply can't find living arrangements that meet their requirements.
- closeparen 9y agoMany people perceive class based on salary/occupation and dollar values rather than what those dollars actually buy in context. The Bay Area is considered rich, even if the median person’s standard of living is below national standards, because salaries are so high.
- emerged 9y agoThey aren't poor at all, they refuse to leave one of the most expensive places in the world because "I was here first" or "I love this place" etc.
