What’s considered luxury housing vs upper middle class?
Like there are plenty of houses marketed as “luxury style” in my area and command $500k-$700k easily but it’s just fancy looking. Not built with any better materials, wood, concrete, drywall or brick that you can get any local Home Depot.
It’s just puffery for new construction. Every single cookie cutter middle class subdivision calls itself an “estate.” “Affordable housing” is a nicer way of saying low income.
