From the perspective of someone (me) who has spent 20+ years honing his craft, manages a business, still only lives in a 1Br apartment, and will probably be eating cat food upon retirement, the people living in those condos are rich. I pay my cooks $8 to $10 an hour, they all went to cooking school and have huge debts. 36% of people between the ages of 18 and 31 live with their parents and that describes all of my employees, so perhaps my perspective of wealth is different than some other people.Although I have agreed in previous posts that the cost/benefit of this project makes me raise an eyebrow, the way you put it makes you sound like an ass. Not sure what you consider rich, but if you mean enough income to pay the taxes that will ultimately fund this project, then yes, rich. Between two of us we own one car (hey, it's not New York City) but we use light rail, walking, or car2go 90% of the time. I'm sure you can find a few of the 5000 nobodies who live within half a mile that fit your stereotype, but even for a stereotype it's fairly ignorant. Too bad because you dilute a reasonable argument.Nobody lives around here except for rich condo owners who are going to be driving anyway.
There are some things happening in our society. The working class is living lives of blood and pain. This is a new thing. Maybe some of you don't feel it the way the rest of us do.
