Just intuitively, the COL rankings seem off in several instances. Look at where Phnom Penh sits. Even in the capital, living in Cambodia is rather cheap from everything I’ve gathered, certainly not equal to or more than Beijing. Likewise, HCMC being ranked equal to Cebu city — it should be at least a few notches lower. We all know Tokyo, Hong Kong and Singapore are consistent contenders for the highest COL in Asia, no surprise there — although I wonder how much of the Yen drop is baked into the ranking for Tokyo. It’s at a crazy low level right now; that should have helped bring the cities in Japan down more than a few notches.sundaymorningstaple wrote: ↑Mon, 11 Jul 2022 6:58 pmCurrent link for Numbeo Cost of Living Index for 2022 so far....

I've not been in Oakland since 1977 when I when to the Coastal School of Deep Sea Diving on Alameda. I rented a room in Oakland just across the bridge from Alameda and the school was located at the bridge. At that time Oakland was a hotbed of racial strife (it was mostly all black there except for one area which held the Nat'l Headquarters for the Hell's Angels. I got a great story about Oakland though (couple of beers at an Eagles sometime after CNY calms down?)malcontent wrote: ↑Fri, 13 Jan 2023 1:34 pmOakland, CA… higher cost than Singapore?sundaymorningstaple wrote: ↑Fri, 13 Jan 2023 12:56 pmCurrent link for Numbeo Cost of Living Index for 2023 so far....

I drove through O-town a couple weeks ago… what a dump! I would not stop my vehicle anywhere in that town. Graffiti, urban blight, questionable looking people on every corner. Worse than Detroit.
Interesting that they have Portland, Oregon ahead of Singapore for cost of living.sundaymorningstaple wrote: ↑Mon, 03 Jul 2023 12:06 amCurrent link for Numbeo Cost of Living Index for 2023 at the half way mark ...
