Yeah, seeing how the poorest fare is the best way to judge the development level of a country.

Indeed, if you're wealthy, you're gonna be living great anywhere.

But look at the poorest people, are they homeless? Do they struggle to afford food and electricity? Do they have the means to get to work and back? Health care? That's the true measure of a society imo.

I'll also add that in this case the buildings may be old and look straight out of a post apocalyptic movie, but they can be quite liveable inside.

And there's more space and green stuff around, compared to the newer (car centric I'd say) blocks.
