To be fair at least some of these cities aren't described as affordable by locals. Berliners are constantly complaining about the rent prices.

Probably true of locals of every city in the world but Berlin in particular is still very cheap relative to many western EU cities.

Numbeo cost of living index has it 153rd in the world including rent and it's well below places like Houston which is probably the cheapest large top tier city in the US.

I also heard that lately. But up until the recent run up in prices it was quite the bargain for what you were getting.
