>In coastal cities, a two income household making 250k each is not absurd
I guess you would have to define the threshold of “absurd,” but It’s a pretty big deviation from the median in Los Angeles and New York, where the median incomes are between 60-65K. In SF, you’re talking two people both making more than double the median (about 110K)
Considering things like the cost of things like housing in these places, the inequality seems massive anyway you slice it.
