> ALL jobs pay better in large german cities, to account for the higher cost of living. Born and raised here. Pretty sure people being paid minimum wage is a thing both in the city as well as the country side. I would even argue the amount of low-payed jobs is higher in big cities with lots of "disposable" people to do them. > just that people who stay away from large cities shouldn’t be forced to pay for the comfort and privileges of those living there. I can say the same for paying taxes for roadwork. I don't need them, still I am paying for them. Especially in Germany, where there is no road tolls and no private roads. The cost of environmental damage also accounts for that. > Living in a large city has its disadvantages, and one of them is cashing out for the train ticket, out of those fat paychecks. If you run the numbers you will realise that owning a care here, including repairs, insurance and gas is quite a bit more expensive than getting a subscription for public transport.
