Quite frankly, it amazes me that anyone would have so much money and then waste it on a huge mansion when there's probably all of three people living there. So yes, I'm amazed. And no, I'm not a career counselor, otherwise I would know what the fuck they do for a living.

Really? That amazes you? I hope you're not a career advisor.

It still amazes me to see some of the ginormous, beautiful houses in this city and I have to ask, what the fuck do these people do for a living?? (besides inherit)

Yeah, maybe cost of living would help put this in perspective. Because there's always something missing in these kinds of reports. I don't know, maybe it's me, but I don't give a shit about the median, especially when it comes to oogling moola. Pacific Heights just feels richer than the swankiest parts of Marin. These counties will always lose the Dynasty competition with SF. They're too nouveau and therefore lack the knack for flaunting their riche. Plus, we have contrast! Nowhere else in America do you have the filthy rich living so close to the filthy. The Opera crowd never looks as moneyed as they do when the homeless in the foreground. Nob Hill is right next to the Tenderloin, for chrissakes. Our classes are literally stratified. And you can't get that in Atherton, baby.

Can some nerd out there (see how we need and love you?) figure out what this translates to if you factor in the cost of living? And then can you present it to Congress and the IRS?

No, think of the therapy bills!
