Have you seen how much Ben & Jerrys charges for ice cream on a normal day? A scoop costs more than a pint does in the store.
We couldn't afford to live in the Haight if we bought ice cream there.
Oh come on .... the word "FREE" is a beacon to all socioeconomic levels. Make mine a Chubby Hubby, please. :)
I live up the hill with a good view of that Ben and Jerry's. It is fun to watch out for a certain kind of teen or very early twenty guy coming down the street as they see B and J's.
They have their look all worked out and to the nine's. It might be skate board punk, it might be gangsta, but they came to Haight Street to strut it and look cool and hard.
But then they see it, the hard looks start to melt away... ice cream, ice cream, ice cream... and they are a little boy wearing silly clothes.
"People who probably pull in an annual salary of $71K and upward..."
You've got an odd interpretation of "median income."
my bad. fixed.
Is that an actual MUNI bus on Haight? What next, the Loch Ness Monster???
I guess I'm just being ornery now, but the inaccuracy wasn't your interpretation of "household income," but "median household income." That is, $71K is the median, not the minimum. So your sentence should be something more like "People who probably live in a household with an annual income of around $71K, but this varies widely."
But that, of course, wouldn't be quite as snappy as your sentence.
