- irq11 8y agoAgain: you can’t just compare rent values without adjusting for income. Japanese people aren’t earning San Francisco salaries. The number you want there is the the one that says Tokyo is 10% cheaper than NYC. That’s the adjusted number. Say what you will about rent, but “10% cheaper than New York” is nobody’s definition of cheap.
