Steve Waldman has a great blog post on this topic that goes beyond big city rents (though I agree that's a huge issue):

That’s an excellent post. One thing I hadn’t thought about is that communities are so stratified that if you fall even a little bit income wise, you lose your work community, might have to move, might need to change your kid’s school, etc.
Yup. Which goes back to the housing problem. Under building of housing country wide (and even more so in major cities) is IMHO one of the root causes of many many many of the problems we see in America today.
