    You see, the problem is that advanced Western countries are home to about 10% of world’s population. That still leaves 90% living in worse conditions.

    Yes, California has very high prices, but you can just pack your stuff and move to a neighbour state. If you live in Syria or India you can’t really move anywhere because all your neighbours are not that better.

    Also have you ever noticed how migrants from poor countries often end up being landlords and businessmen? I moved to UK from a poor country some years ago, it took me just two years to buy a flat. Yet Brits complain non stop how expensive their properties are and how everyone will be stuck renting forever. And I guess they will unless they change their attitudes and start working hard and responsibly. I believe the same applies to US.
