    I think there's a poor (left side, poorly lit, older stove that's worn and dirty) and middle-class (right side, better lit, nicer appliances [plural] and cabinetry) aesthetic being depicted, but both are shown with dirty dishes and empty cupboards, indicating that everyone but the rich are struggling.

    Edit: I can't quite explain the commercial coffee maker with three carafes, nor the bathroom sink (#3) in the very back.

        I don't think this is that complicated. The two kitchen sinks and oven/stoves kinda demand an explanation, and once you start looking closely you see the details. I don't think the point is to emphasize a dichotomy but rather to illustrate that this is one struggle that both the poor and middle class are in.

        What you're saying is right, too, though.
