I read the article just fine, actually. If you actually understand what poverty means, you wouldn’t make such a ridiculous claim. It’d have to be a really high cost-of-living city for that to be the case, but there are a lot of cities where a family can raise children on $140k easily. Affordability these days is difficult in general, I understand the frustration, and it’s probably why people downvoted me by reflex, but creating a poverty line off cherry-picked conditions doesn’t make any sense.

What is poverty to you?
The line has always been arbitrary.
