If the left claims to be all in it for the little guy, just trying to make ends meet, why do they enact policies that make it so extremely difficult for the working class to thrive? That is something Progressives can never answer, as their Utopias have subsequently made it so that six figures are now considered low income, at least for several California Bay Area counties.

According to The Post Millennial

The 2025 income limits, published by HCD in April, show that the low-income classification for a single-person household has surpassed $100,000 in four Bay Area counties: Marin, San Mateo, San Francisco, and Santa Clara. The department determines these limits using federal income data, adjusted for household size, and then defines five categories of income as a percentage of each area’s median income. These thresholds are used to determine eligibility for housing assistance.

Santa Clara County now has the highest low-income threshold for a single-person household at $111,700. The amount is a $33,150 increase since 2020. Marin, San Mateo, and San Francisco each have thresholds set at $109,700, marking a $12,100 rise in the same period.

According to a report by SFGate, the findings come as the Bay Area has faced rising economic inequality among residents, with a national study concluding that San Jose is the most difficult place in the country to live comfortably. Although the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic saw population declines in cities like San Francisco and San Jose, which temporarily softened rental demand, that trend is reversing.

It took just several years for the low-income threshold to increase to over $30,000. That tells you all you need to know about what happens when leftists rule.

To put this in perspective, “the federal poverty level definition of low income for a single-person household is $15,650 annually. Each additional person in the household adds to the total. For example, the poverty guideline is $32,150 per year for a family of four,” according to NerdWallet.

The difference is astonishing and proof that no one thrives under progressivism. The Bay Area is the poster child for the left’s socialist Utopia and could have become a reality in a town near you had Kamala been selected. Nevertheless, things have gotten so bad in these places that you would think it was by design.

This is also what happens when you enact radical rent control. So, while the left claims those sorts of policies are only intended to help those less fortunate, they have made it extremely hard for the middle class to live. This, combined with anti-development policies, including affordable housing quotas, has all contributed to the rising cost of living.

And all of that does not even begin to explain the severity of the situation. So, it turns out that mandating society be a certain way, such as declaring housing a human right, does nothing to make life more affordable. Who would have guessed?

That being said, it goes without saying that when leftists thrive, the working class dies.
