   ok, that i see. but the idea one can live decently on $20 and hour in a major   
   city is just wrong. yiou can live with roomates in the bad side of   
   town...maybe. to live in ny, boston, hartford, any big east coast city, to   
   live alone on the old 1/4 income= rent theory, you would need to make and take   
   home $1200 a week. 60k annualy is not upper class.
