God, really explains so many upper class people. Just walking around all the time thinking houses in fucking Brooklyn cost 90k and that the average worker makes $28 an hr or something. Thinking “why can’t these people get their shit together”.
Very curious where in NYC these mayoral candidates live and what both their backgrounds are? Who’s got this info?
Edit: oh for christs sake, one of these dudes was HUD SECRETARY under obama, and ownes a 2.3 mil house in brooklyn
No joke, before the minimum wage hike discourse became a thing under the Biden admin my dad straight up thought the minimum wage was close to $20.

$55k will get you a run-down 1,000 square foot row house in Helena:
