Right, but then again, the person earning that income can easily buy a house in other parts of the country and be "middle-class." I think that's where this gets interesting.

What is middle-class in a country where the same salary gets you so little in one place and so much in another? It's an interesting issue, and one that will only be more important as cities like LA and SF and NYC experience growth or decline as population centers.
