        Nice view from that ivory tower, bro. Come walk my neighborhood with me and tell me how good the bottom 20% have it now.

        I feel like this article completely erases the problem that is homelessness in America. Shouldn't they be counted among those in poverty? This claims the "poorest 20%" live in what would be middle class housing a generation ago. Were the middle class homeless?
