Seattle’s Cost of Living Index is Soaring January 27, 2018 BFH Uncategorized 5

Beer, burgers and haircuts: Seattle hits new high for cost of living, and it’s not just housing

Seattle rents now rank among top 5 most expensive in U.S.; Tacoma joins $1,000 club



It’s a mess. There’s homeless lining the streets in tents, and it costs 53% more to live there for the people actually cashing a paycheck. This is what everyone wants, to pay a premium to have the privilege of hopping over human feces after you get your 30 dollar haircut, and landing in a puddle of urine.

Good thing it rains a lot there.

Rarebird,
Since I'm a nice guy and lived in one of the greatest "liberal cities" in the USA, NYC, I'll be happy to provide a few middle class areas for you:
Funny you should mention Bayside, NY, because a quick Google search reveals that the median price of a home in Bayside is $842,900.

That's $3,200/month in mortgage payments, which means household income should be around $137K/year before taxes (going by the front-end ratio of 28%).

The top 20% of Americans make $100K/year or above. Is THAT what you call "middle class"?
