If an alien went to CHina and then went to US it wld seem 100% true to them as everyone in China looks healthy and prosperous, almost no hobos or crazies. New housing everywhere. Higher home ownership race. Huge car market. Of course, best infra in human history

Then alien wld go to US and see everyone is a poorly dressed 350 pound landbeast acting like they just got out of a mental institute

When the pandemic first broke we a got a fuckload of pics out of China and it looked about as developed as Japan. People were saying Wuhan is a rich city so maybe it's not representative, but even that wet market looked 1000x cleaner than the shit you see in SE Asia. It looked more like Chinatown in Vancouver.

they are basically taking any old buildings and just demolishing them and putting nice high rise buildings or proper smaller ones for restos/businesses

they must have 180 building regulations, part of the reason a place like taiwan or japan looks like shit is causee the building codes make it difficult to redevelop shit

ditto in eastern euro and ex-USSR shitholes like uzbekistan u have these super nice apts in old commie blocks with hideous insanely shit common areas and eleavtors

I went back to Hanoi after being away for 5 years and I couldn't find my way around the city because whole neighborhoods had been demolished. I was eventually able to locate the apartment building I stayed in, which was nice enough to be preserved, but it took me over two hours of searching because the streets were all new and all the old "landmarks" were all gone.

Yes. It is what determines actual QOL.

Example: A family in place A makes 2x more but costs are 4x greater than place B. A non-PPP analysis would conclude that people in place A are wealthier than place B which is false.

No, it’s circular reasoning because PPP adjusts for a common basket of good but includes high levels of substitutions and adjusts out higher end purchases common in wealthy countries since lack of market creates trade barriers in poor countries. GDP at market exchange rates is the usual way wealth is compared.

Sure, but QOL and wealth are very different measures.

When adjusting for local cost differences, poor economies have to be adjusted upwards because something like a quarter of the world survives on less (in dollars) than the minimum subsistence income for the US. You literally could not buy enough calories to survive on a rural Indian or eastern Russian income. Therefor any comparison on a COL or QOL level has to close the gap between wealthy and poor countries.

However, wealth is different. A 25th percentile Chinese couldn’t come to the US and have any purchasing power, whereas a 25th percentile American could go to China and have significantly more purchasing ability than the local 25th percentile Chinese

Here were the worst pics anyone could find from that wet market in Wuhan:

I've seen rib joints in the ghetto that are dirtier and more decrepit. We used to hit them up at 3am with the hoodrats and eat out of stryofoam cartons on the sidewalk, and this is way cleaner.
