New housing everywhere. Higher home ownership race. Huge car market. Of course, best infra in human history
Then alien wld go to US and see everyone is a poorly dressed 350 pound landbeast acting like they just got out of a mental institute |

It's because they dont exist.

Date: June 11th, 2025 12:22 AM Author: shaky principal's office boistinker 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: iridescent ticket booth 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: Flushed territorial spot 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: Vermilion Wonderful Forum 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=2Elisa#49006341) |

Date: June 11th, 2025 5:35 PM Author: Flushed territorial spot 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=2Elisa#49006389) |
|
Date: June 11th, 2025 7:23 PM Author: Vermilion Wonderful Forum 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 |

I've seen rib joints in the ghetto that are dirtier and more decrepit. We used to hit them up at 3am with the hoodrats and eat out of stryofoam cartons on the sidewalk, and this is way cleaner. |
