I think this is exactly right, and explains why staunchly middle-income suburbs around San Francisco are filled with luxury cars. An $80k car feels relatively cheap when your mortgage is $1.5mm.

Even the relatively cheap big apartment complexes in Sunnyvale have carports filled with luxury vehicles.

Those apartments aren’t cheap though. They’re still expensive compared to other parts of the country.
