This might be true, but this article has no data and just opinions. If you were to ride your car along Aurora Ave in Seattle, then Seattle is poor af.

That's because the prices of homes are too high? I don't think understand what you're saying. Next you're going to tell me San Francisco is a poor city. A fixer upper in Seattle is around 800k for the land. Most homes start at around 1 million. Does that sound poor to you?

Most Seattleites can’t afford to own a home; they rent.
