yeah but...

OK, let's talk California (since I was born here). If the lower income people doubled their salary (over what time period?), 2X (not much) still= not much. During the same period what happened to housing costs? For high income, 1.07X (a lot) still= a lot. Sure, the income might not be growing as fast as other costs, but they started with plenty.

Bottom line? Being poor sucks.

Of course CA is a messed up example. I paid how much for this frickin' house? Ahh, the price of a short commute...
