I think the idea is that the valley has taken out the middle, leaving only the extraordinarily rich and the poor.

- Domenic_S 13y agoLet's define terms. Rich == you don't have to work for a living. You might choose to, but you don't have to. Poor == you're on government assistance of some kind, WIC, food stamps, welfare. Can you think of anyone in SV that's in between those two extremes? A "middle class" of sorts? There is a vast, vast middle in SV, it's just that the scale is different which never stops blowing people's minds. Instead of a $50k income being middle class, $150k is.
