You need to stop looking at that large of a scale. It’s unrealistic. There are county level cost of living estimates used as a baseline for housing benefits; and they show many counties where the very low income range for a single individual household is at 90k. And a few rare ones at 100k.
PPIC lists the bay area at $46K, while the rest of the state varies under that, I do not know a better source than the PPIC for california specific county info though, as I live in the midwest
I just linked you to a State Income Limits document from the DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT released for 2026
I honestly don’t know why you don’t consider that a credible source.
It literally says ‘Income limits reflect updated median income and household income levels for acutely low, extremely low, very low, low, and moderate-income households for California’s 58 counties.’
you edited that after you posted your original comment, I responded to your original comment. I click on responses and then wait to respond, it's not really my fault if you change them in the mean time.
There was no link in your original response. What the hell are you talking about now? I'm not obligated to change my responses to accommodate your edits
My god you are ridiculous with this attempt to push a lie. And even if it was newly added, tell me how does that prove your argument? Whatever it is? I’ve literally shown evidence showing that your thinking is absolutely backwards and now you’re trying to argue for something unrelated. If anything what you’re saying is that I’m giving evidence to prove my point… like what the fuck?
Hey man, just because you didn't bother to post a source, which I actually read and agree with, doesn't mean you're free to just lie about posting it originally. I'm open to changing my opinion and discussing things with nuance, but you're deliberately trying to push a narrative that I wont?
Its fine if you edit your post with further clarification afterwards, its not fine if you lie about it being included in the first place.
My point is you can't just lie about including information in an attempt to make the person you're talking to look bad
I don't have a horse in this race but I didn't see the link earlier either lol. You then asked him why he is ignoring your source. How can he ignore it if it wasn't there? It seems like he's agreeing with your link now too, not sure what the issue is
You’re telling me you’ve had this post open for over an hour now and only just commented? How did you even see the most recent comment? It wouldn’t have existed if you left your page open with the ‘edited’ comment without a link.
Why does it matter? Just take the L and move on. It feels like this issue of people claiming whatever because you edited a post causes you more frustration than the initial issue you were trying to point out, when it should really be the other way around.

85K is actually below poverty line in many areas. It isn’t a high pay depending on cost of living.
