I guess that depends on your idea of "middle class." A married couple of 29-30 year old 4th year associates at big downtown lawfirms could afford that.

Ummmm.... no, two wealthy lawyers in the top 2% US income bracket absolutely do not count as middle class! "Middle class" to me means within shouting distance of the median household income, which in DC is around $50,000.

It's always a bit disturbing to me when big firm lawyers, who wield at least some influence on social policy in DC, talk about and perceive themselves as "middle class." No. You're not. You live in a ridiculously isolated, affluent social bubble - and you have a civic duty to try to keep some sense of perspective.
