Ok so looking at real numbers I don’t think your sentiment is correct. I’ll take other numbers too but I am seeing the median income is around 70k annual.

But then I am seeing it costs around 61k just to rent a one bedroom apartment.

Are you seriously suggesting that about half of the “middle class” could not even afford to rent a one bedroom apartment?

(I got my numbers just from quick google searches fyi I tried to post pics but it did the endless scrolling bug)
