MiddleEast/Africa Istanbul getting very expensive

[ThunderCat]

it's because of the goddamned immigrants. The central parts of the city are completely ruined yet these piece of shits keep pouring in because our border security is terrible.

It's also because of the recent Earthquake last year/

That reset the problem by decades according to the media.

Earthquake victims are mostly poor people, most of them had to move to Ankara not İstanbul. Sad reality is that İstanbul is too expensive for many Turks.

Yeah. And Turkish cities are becoming overcrowded because of rural migration I heard/read. Highways and other infurstrucutre might have also been affected.

But my point is lots of factors contribute to this, although I don't think having so many refugees helps. A number of factors also contribute. COVID-19 also damaged the Turkish economy.

Not one but many factors, including the policies of the ruling AK party, contributed to this situation in Istanbul. However, it will be very difficult, if not impossible, to reverse the situation from now back to an acceptable level. What they can do is prevent a similar situation from spreading to other metropoles.

Rural migration was in the 70ies, your information is a bit outdated. now the white collar workers are trying to buy land and tractors and migrate off the cities.

Few years ago when I was working in Sharjah I remember talking to Pakistani migrants and they said that for $500/ month you could rent a 2 bdr apt in lower middle class hood and 4 people could share rent and live there. Now that same rent is $1000/ month. UAE is beyond reach of most migrants now. Now they've built little ghetto/ squalid prison camps an hour drive out from most cities in the deserts where they house the poor and bus them in n out. Oil Shaikhs are pretty slick bhai. They know how to fix the problems and continue doing business. They know without cheap labor from the subcontinent, they can't do business and stay competitive.

It is not cheap labor but quasi-slave labor. It is similar to UK guys lecturing about their minimum wage, which is practically useless without living with 12 people in the same house, with many receiving weekly DOL. Many labor beds in UAE never get cold because laborers rent those beds by shifts as UK migrant laborers do.
