It's not like the whites in SF who vote for Democrats are wealthy either. Meh.

Well most of them are not wealthy but yes even the wealthy vote Democrat. I just hate the bay area being described as "Gucci". Sounds so dumb. Also sf isn't as wealthy as people think. It's median income is only a little above the nation and well below the median income of the bay area which is around 70-75k. It just has a lot of single people making 40-50k. Not what I would describe as wealthy. I certainly wouldn't describe it as Gucci. The bay area is not Beverly hills or fashion island. People aren't as self absorbed there.

For example while my mom and sister were eating at an Ethiopian restaurant in the silicon valley, Larry Page dropped by to eat. He could have rolled up in any car, but he came in a fairly non descript, environmentally friendly Chevy volt. Rich people in LA would drive something more fancy.
