Let'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.
