How can San Francisco be both the most progressive place in the US and the place with the most inequality?
It's fascinating the things we can't talk about.
- closeparen 4y agoEducation polarization. San Francisco is unequal because it has significant numbers of high income people. High income people have progressive political views.
- yucky 4y ago>High income people have progressive political views. So that's who the Party of the wealthy is.. Curious how often progressives are bleating on about "Eat The Rich" then isn't it?
- closeparen 4y agoCollege educated workers are to the left of and also earn more than the median American. A region with a large professional-managerial workforce in addition to its working class is more unequal than a region with only working class people. Being in the upper quartile of the distribution yourself is no insurance against resenting those higher up.
- yucky 4y agoSo to recap, the party of the rich resides on the left politically.
