"More than four-fifths of America’s metropolitan areas have seen household incomes decline this century," Do you understand what a metropolitan area is? |

I do. I was commenting on the headline. If the headline is in error, perhaps that should be corrected? |

I think his point was that people with good incomes were moving out of metropolitan areas, bringing the aggregate down? I can't be arsed atm to look at whether or not that's true, but it sounds reasonable Real wages in general have been in decline since the 1980s. |

Market force and of course, keep voting for Democrats. These fools who are ardent Democrat supporters will soon have no place to live because it's damn expensive to even rent a room in San Francisco. Social engineering always have negative consequences. |

Hope and Change you can believe in. On a lighter note... The affordable Healthcare act just got a little more affordable. With Monthly premiums to rise 15%-25% by the end of the year. Oh-B-MA! Oh-B-MA! Oh-B-Ma!!!
