Reply #51: it may feel like it, but it's not

certainly not class warfare against the rich. If the couple making 250k (which is still well above the median income for even the wealthiest district of Manhattan, let alone all of New York City) feels like they're only middle class, that is likely a consequence of class warfare in the other direction, leaving New York City one of the places of greatest income disparity. But however it feels to the the couple making 250k in NYC or SF, they should be aware that there are plenty of people living in the same city on 10% of that (or less).
