Those places have COL problems as bad or worse than the Bay Area. At least Singapore (and to a lesser extent HK) deals with it via lots of public subsidized housing.

The comment you replied to must have been edited since you replied to it.

Tokyo rents basically haven’t moved in the last 30 years and the population has added 1.5m people. If you want to work in NYC there are many, many affordable options within 1 hours commute.

Commuting 1 hour, especially in public transit in the NYC area, is a terrible way to live.
