America really does sometimes looks like a first world and third world country in a trench coat.

  Because we provide social housing for people? That seems hardly a sin. The limits published here seem reasonable https://www.sf.gov/reports--may-2024--income-and-rent-limits-inclusionary-rental-units https://www.sf.gov/reports--may-2024--income-and-rent-limits... So a primary school teacher who is the sole breadwinner of a 4-person household will be eligible for housing support. That doesn't seem that outlandish. If anything it seems very much like a developed nation property. I grew up in the Third World: America is nothing like it. Even the ways it fails are not like the Third World.

    Oh no no, just a superficial observation of how you can see a streetcar ad that reads like budget homes… for those under $185k. My region’s version of that ad is just as ridiculous to 95% of the world. However I do think the U.S. does have a lot of range, which does look really weird at times. You can cross a county line and suddenly the roads turn into an amusement park ride. I think that’s the main “whaaat?” That comes to mind when I’ve travelled there. Well, that and abandoned cars on the side of the road.

      That is an entirely justified opinion. The range is truly wild.
