Six figures could be anything between 100k and 999k. If they are on the lower end, they aren’t really that privileged, especially if they are living in an area that necessitates a pay that high.

Hell, there are some places that 100k would be closer to the regions “poverty line” so to speak.

Yep, CA Dept of Housing considers an individual making less than $109k in San Francisco "low-income" - that's about what you'd need to qualify for a 1br apartment there.
