Comment on NYC families need over $125k in income to live in any boroughparent

This baffles me too. I don’t understand how “normal” people let alone lower income people live in places like SF/SV, NYC, etc. The math doesn’t math. Yet these cities have these people and could not function without them.

The math doesn’t math.

It maths fine, it's just that the assumptions being input are wrong.

People making $80-90K can live a similar lifestyle to the people making $125K+, they just aren't saving any money. I know people that do this, live their whole life with less than $5k in the bank.
