It's because they dont exist. As I posted even 200k towns in the poorest province of China, Gansu, are super nice now (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5735860&forum_id=2)#49004154) |

Date: June 11th, 2025 12:19 AM Author: Boyish Hall When the pandemic first broke we a got a fuckload of pics out of China and it looked about as developed as Japan. People were saying Wuhan is a rich city so maybe it's not representative, but even that wet market looked 1000x cleaner than the shit you see in SE Asia. It looked more like Chinatown in Vancouver.

Date: June 11th, 2025 12:22 AM Author: godawful umber hunting ground home they are basically taking any old buildings and just demolishing them and putting nice high rise buildings or proper smaller ones for restos/businesses
they must have 180 building regulations, part of the reason a place like taiwan or japan looks like shit is causee the building codes make it difficult to redevelop shit
ditto in eastern euro and ex-USSR shitholes like uzbekistan u have these super nice apts in old commie blocks with hideous insanely shit common areas and eleavtors |

Date: June 11th, 2025 12:24 AM Author: Boyish Hall I went back to Hanoi after being away for 5 years and I couldn't find my way around the city because whole neighborhoods had been demolished. I was eventually able to locate the apartment building I stayed in, which was nice enough to be preserved, but it took me over two hours of searching because the streets were all new and all the old "landmarks" were all gone.

and district 1 and stuff is mostly the same, sidewalks are still shit, motorbikes still drive like retards
most of the new development is in the outskirts, it will become like jakarta a huge furking traffic filled mess with no real center |

Date: June 11th, 2025 2:57 PM Author: Arousing Dilemma Yes. It is what determines actual QOL.
Example: A family in place A makes 2x more but costs are 4x greater than place B. A non-PPP analysis would conclude that people in place A are wealthier than place B which is false. |

Date: June 11th, 2025 5:14 PM Author: disturbing azure dingle berry keepsake machete No, it’s circular reasoning because PPP adjusts for a common basket of good but includes high levels of substitutions and adjusts out higher end purchases common in wealthy countries since lack of market creates trade barriers in poor countries. GDP at market exchange rates is the usual way wealth is compared. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5735860&forum_id=2)#49006341) |

Date: June 11th, 2025 5:35 PM Author: Arousing Dilemma So in places like Russia and China instead of Popeyes they have Rosticks and whatever fried chicken place China has. Who cares? The point is that the bottom 50% live better in China than the US at this point. That doesn't actually surprise me, btw. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5735860&forum_id=2)#49006389) |
|
Date: June 11th, 2025 7:23 PM Author: disturbing azure dingle berry keepsake machete Sure, but QOL and wealth are very different measures.
When adjusting for local cost differences, poor economies have to be adjusted upwards because something like a quarter of the world survives on less (in dollars) than the minimum subsistence income for the US. You literally could not buy enough calories to survive on a rural Indian or eastern Russian income. Therefor any comparison on a COL or QOL level has to close the gap between wealthy and poor countries.
However, wealth is different. A 25th percentile Chinese couldn’t come to the US and have any purchasing power, whereas a 25th percentile American could go to China and have significantly more purchasing ability than the local 25th percentile Chinese |
