What "cheap services" are you talking about? Moving around the world (including SV and several places in Europe), the cost of services and rent never seriously reflected the differences in pay. iPad costs iPad price everywhere, food is about the same in western world as well, plumbers aren't working for free either.
So what services are you talking about?
- geodel 5y agoHeard of child daycare, house cleaning / maid, handyman, in-home therapy and so on. > plumbers aren't working for free either. Not working for free vs paid equal in NYC/SFO/Raleigh/Columbus makes a world of difference.
- sofixa 5y ago> food is about the same in western world as well That's just categorically untrue. In a smallish city in Portugal the food is drastically cheaper than in Paris. For some concrete data, look at the Bic Mac index ( the eurozone kind of screws the comparison up, but it's still valid for Canada vs US vs UK vs EU ) Same goes for rent ( a studio in Paris is as much as a 2-3 room apartment in Montpelier, let alone a small city in Sicily), or associated services.
