I refuse to define "middle class" on a sliding scale from state to state, or district to district - Strongbad Dec 18, 05:02 3
- You're wrong. I've lived it. -- nm - CQ Dec 18, 05:07 1
  - I've lived it too. - Strongbad Dec 18, 05:23

  - I get it. The point is that it's difficult to compare people from the two markets as the same. - volnelk Dec 18, 05:25 4

    - they may or may not. In my Halifax/Vancouver comparison, we'd be spending most of our available income on housing with no room for vacations - Reagen Dec 18, 05:28
    - Thank you for explaining this better than I am. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 18, 05:26 1
      - Even if I do accept your premise (which I do not - two can play at this game, wheeee!) - Reagen Dec 18, 05:30
- but choices are driven by location. - Reagen Dec 18, 04:59
