Missing the middle

It seems there is nothing in the middle here. There are high end stores and cheap stores, there are rich people and laborers, there are gourmet restaurants and fast food, etc. Where is Target and Outback Steak House? There are a few middle of the road restaurants here but if you are looking for a steak, well its very expensive only. Of course we are middle class but not really here.

Today I heard about this middle class neighborhood that is being torn down - why... well because you always tear down the middle here and anything not shiny and new. It's an odd place sometimes. There is a wonderful, beautiful veneer on the surface but inside, this is an undeveloped country - or at least operates like one.

I'm not saying its a bad place or anything. Just different than you might expect. I think they need to make a space middle class here. They need lots and lots of laborers for all of the building but what about supporting those buildings once they are complete? People in the middle who can make decisions are needed. It takes too long to always go to the top for a simple day to day decision to be made. That is why it is difficult to accomplish things here.
