I live in a major city with decent (not excellent, just decent) transportation.

Yokels from small towns talk about how "expensive" it is until I ask them how much they pay for rent and food. And it always surprises them theyre paying the same damn amount thanks to inflation.

Eh... Used to live in the city in a 500 sq ft condo built in '75 and similar units would be rented for the same price I'm paying to rent a 900sq ft apartment built in 2014 in a small town with all services one could need... Bonus, I don't need my car to do the groceries because it's 2 minutes door to door from where I live now compared to 5 minutes in my car when I was at the condo.
