Many people raise families in Cambridge, MA (and every other expensive city in the country) on much less than 90k/year.

I've met several while I lived there. In the Rindge Homes, or who were getting Section 8.

The ongoing outlay for city & state services is overwhelming MA, even with its high-earning, high-educated population. Even at a (risable) $90/K a year, the debt keeps growing, and adding more people will only increase the consumption of public services whose costs are not being adequately reflected.
