[QUOTE="Deleted member 2897, post: 523462"] That’s also the problem with all the silly poverty figures. They don’t take into account the cost of living. You can show up as upper middle class in California, but have to live like you’re poor, while you can show up as poor in the stats in the southeast but be solid middle class. There is a huge homeless encampment next to downtown San Jose that I would be surprised if there is less than 50 tents. When your state and local taxes are 10% and property taxes on a median home are $15,000/year, earning $75,000/year out there literally gets you nowhere but the poor house. You can live like a king on $75,000 in many parts of the southeast. [/QUOTE]
