In that sense, it's the evidence of a strong economy. There's a lot of factors in play, like Switzerland having double the population density, but half of the income gap disparity. The United States has twice as many people living in poverty than Switzerland. There's also the issue of how tourism affects local economies. So yeah, it's a complicated issue.

> like Switzerland having double the population density, but half of the income gap disparity. If you build evenly gentrified cities, isn't that going to be the results anyways? (also, I'm sure the US has way more than twice the number of people living in property, perhaps you meant per capita) But when I was living there, it was fairly stressful. I guess if I was a poorer resident rather than a relatively more well off post-doc, it would actually be easier to find housing since there would be some assistance at least.
