Shanghai is the most expensive city I have ever visited. Coming from San Francisco, most cities seem cheap. Not Shanghai.

- acadien 12y agoHm maybe it depends on your income level? I have friends in Shanghai that live on a fraction of what I live on in the US, we're in comparable income levels but no where near wealthy.
- ido 12y agoThis is common to many lower income countries. You can live like a poor student in Poland for very cheaply but an upper/upper-middle class lifestyle (a couple of nice new luxury cars, always having the latest iphones/ipads, fancy clothing/watches/jewelry, a nice house/apartment in a good location, etc) will cost the same or more in Warsaw as in Berlin or Vienna.
- rsync 12y agoUseless anecdote: I have been to shanghai, and agree that it is not cheap. However, other than special-case-outliers like Aspen and Davos, nowhere I have been is more expensive than Zurich. It's like, crazy expensive.
