It’s no surprise that census data released this week shows Bay Area residents make a lot of money.
The median household in the region grossed $79,624 last year, a 5 percent jump over the prior year and the second highest earnings among large metro areas nationwide. Households in the Washington, D.C. area topped the list at $90,149 a year, while the Boston area was third at $72,907.

But but but...I thought that LGBTQXYZ were an OPPRESSED group!
Pretty sad state of affairs when the most profitable opportunity is being a goober-drone. [facepalm]
That is the entire purpose for allowing them here in the first place - to provide a reason to continue clobbering taxpayers over the head with 'income inequality' stories.
I lived in Arlington, VA for 3.5 years...leaving last year. If you stand around Arlington, you note a tremendous amount of wealth (houses, jobs, and cars). The problem is....you can’t afford to live there if you make less than $35k a year. So you end up living way out of the district and you don’t get any appreciation of the local community in Arlington. The area desperately needed people to work at McDonalds, Starbucks, grocery operations, etc....but none of them could afford the $1200 a month for 2-bedroom apartments (the bottom level of quality).
I have no idea how you’d live on $79k in the SF Bay Area. That would be poverty level.
oh yes the Left Elite and their “Alphabet Stups” constituents
San Francisco and the Bay Area have been unable to continue the original Socialist plan to manage income inequality, Jim Jones and the People’s Temple.
“The the two major liberal centers of the country, Washington DC and San Francisco, have the biggest income inequality. That’s what happens when liberals run things. “
Actually, I think you will find that San Francisco itself isn’t the wealth center of the area. Most of SF is not wealthy (although all of it’s housing is well above the norm in price). That said, the “newly wealthy” Face Bookers and Googlers have managed to drive what’s left of the Black “community” out of their former shitttholes on Potrero Hill. The whole area has been “redeveloped” with upscale housing and amenities. These folks now “commute” to their Silicon Valley
companies in private coaches, and FB wants to start a private ferry service on the bay because the busses take too long in the traffic.
BTW are you down in Castroville?
My office is in Castroville
Agree it can’t be done in SF proper.
It can be done in suburban areas about an hour away.
“The area desperately needed people to work at McDonalds, Starbucks, grocery operations, etc....but none of them could afford the $1200 a month for 2-bedroom apartments (the bottom level of quality).”
That’s why there is Seven Corners.
What, the progs aren’t practicing their “redistribute the wealth” bullcrap? Say it isn’t true!
“What, the progs aren’t practicing their “redistribute the wealth” bullcrap? Say it isn’t true!”
When progressive acquaintances get on their unequal wealth distribution soapbox, I ask them what % of their personal net worth they plan to voluntarily redistribute this year. Inevitably they say it is the role of government to raise the poor. My response, “When you walk the talk, I’ll listen.”
Yet they continue to deny the real driver of personal wealth to their poverty stricken residents - jobs NOT welfare!
Liberals run things = Bay of pigs
And the Barrios in Herndon and Sterling.
90 thousand median in DC?
That is shocking.
