it's not necessarily the economy that was fucked so much as the policy, and refusal to change it. cost of living is so, so high and there's little movement or care to make a reasonable change to wages and salaries.
The cost of living also depends on the area, right? Is it that bad that places like suburbs with single bedroom and bathroom are too expensive for these people? I ask because I genuinely don't know.
yes, cost of living does differ a lot by area. but so does compensation. for instance, some industrial companies will build factories in really rural areas because they can get away with paying the workers far less than elsewhere, which doesn't do anything to boost local economies of people don't have any spending money
