MB: curiously, the fed model is OK if you live in a rural area, it's nonsense if you live in an urban area. I can still find quite nice houses for sale for $50,000 or less in small towns throughout the pacific states and canada..same house sells for ten times the price in prime urban areas. The numbers say that it takes $100,000 a year in silly valley to be equivalent to the guy that makes $45,000 where I went to high school. So in a sense the feds are setting the numbers for the lowest common denominator. I have friends who took huge cuts to pay to move to less costly areas, they found their real personal income was much higher even though their salary was much lower.
