Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Does anyone on the Surreal Life work a day job? (I'm seriously asking, because I've only seen about 5 minutes of the show.)
Reality show losers only count as celebrities if they end up on another reality show, in which case, they're making money off of it.
You don't think a poor lawyer is higher classed than a rich janitor?
Nope.
Huh. I honestly can't equate wealth with class in my head. I can't make it work. It doesn't match my experience.

I can do this by driving from central Kansas City out to the uberwealthly KC suburb Leawood.

But how does that correlate the two concepts irrevocably and invariably?
It goes from sterotypical lower class neighborhoods to the sterotypical upper class neighborhoods.
My extended family has a hard time reconciling that I had almost the most expensive education amongst us and when you factor earrings and cost of living live near the bottom of the bunch.
I like the typo. Must be some serious BLING to knock you all the way down to the bottom of the bunch.
But we can all do that drive. How can you tell if the people in the upper class neighbourhoods are living within their means, and that the people in the lower class neighbourhoods aren't sitting on wads of cash?
But does it tell you anything about wealth and class outside of Kansas City?
I don't think there is an "American" definition of class. I don't think it's anywhere near that simple.

I think in general it's safe to assume that more expensive neighborhoods will have more wealth. There may be exceptions, but I'm thinking more a general perception of class.

In general, yes. My experience (as noted above with the relative chronically beyond her means, living in one of Metro Detroit's toniest neighbourhoods just so she could say she did) is that the line is so blurry that I can't be as absolute as expensive neighbourhood == wealth == class.
You're already equating expensive with high class, so what is proven by the drive?
