Big cities like Beijing or Shanghai in China are much worse, lower wages and rents north of $1000 and salaries of about $1350

Workers cram into one apartment just to have a place to sleep

You must not have ever seen a couple of folks making min wage renting a room just to survive. America may not be quite at that disparity level but it is rapidly approaching

Couple of folks? There are like a dozen workers bunking in Beijing apartments because it's just not affordable
