Well over $100k in the higher cost of living states, too. And as the article states, that’s typically about double what the median salary is for a single person in most states.

I’d like to point out that AES states - while maybe they didn’t have all the same quality or quantity of consumer goods - were able to able to to provide a comfortable life for everyone without all the predatory that US workers currently have. And don’t take my word for it, take it from the neoliberal queen herself, Angela Merkel. When asked about life in the former GDR, she described it as “almost comfortable”. Now before you mention that “almost” is an important qualifier, note that the context of her quote was her trying to criticize the former GDR but she grudgingly conceded the comment above.

Doubling this, we all know how important de-suburbanization will be for the environment AND the inevitability of people moving into cities, anyone who plans cities in a way that they should be luxuries for the rich is amoral.

Yes, I do in fact believe that poor people deserve to exist in "nice" places like San Francisco. Want a community for other wealthy perverts? Go join a country club or something.
