[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the country as a whole middle class isn't very high life. The lower threshold for MC in Arlington is around $90k. 2/3 the median income. MC is having a budget, juggling payments, maybe some college. [/quote] Good luck finding a place to live for a family in Arlington on $90k. Median rent is over $2500 for a 2 bedroom unless you want to live in the very poorest parts of Arlington. $90k is poverty level in Arlington for a family.[/quote] You don't have to live in Arlington. This metro area is quite large. Yes, I realize if you want to have a shorter commute then you have to live closer in, but those are the choices 99% of people have to make - live closer and be house rich, or move further out and deal with a crappy commute. A MC person doesn't have the luxury of making those choices sometimes. But, it doesn't make them poor.[/quote]
