I know some poor people. They live in poor neighborhoods, and have little. However the vast majority are not working two jobs.

Or maybe it doesn't occur to you that in the middle of the country it is possible to afford a (small!) apartment on minimum wage jobs. We hear stories about how high the cost of living is in CA, but it isn't that bad here.
