Can you please name a single city in the US where you can easily live on $20/hr that isn't stricken with massive poverty?

I find it insulting that you don't think Americans, especially those that work, don't deserve dignity through their labor in having a meaningful life. Especially when they work for one of the richest companies in the world.
