HobbitFoot, 7 months ago Let’s compare GDP per capita. These are just basic numbers I pulled from Google. Bay Area/New Orleans = $89,978 (2017) / $52,535 (2017) = 1.71 Frankfurt/Bucharest = $55,200 (2020) / $39,200 (2020) = 1.41 So the San Francisco Bay Area has a higher income disparity compared to Greater New Orleans than Frankfurt has to Bucharest. Maybe there is an absolute number that people target, but the relative difference is much worse in the USA.
