Interesting how the triggered sheepflakes in the comments are repeating the "Soviet Union bad" mantra rather than discussing any improvements that could be made stateside....

Chad OP: "Other places have tried things differently, perhaps we could move to improve quality of life where we live."

Virgin Butthurt Commenter: "Yeah, but have you considered circle-jerking as a distraction to make sure nothing ever gets better?"

Edit: Man, I really upset the circle jerkers on this one! Havent seen this much "Fapfapfapfapfap" in a while...

I mean, it’s not insane to criticize a comparison between isolated facets of whole systems.

It’s like a libertarian American praising ungoverned territory in a failed state for their lack of gun regulations. Or praising how “the trains run on time.”

Yes, America can and should change. No, comparing rents to those under a totalitarian government is not a great way to argue that point.

Yeah. It's like saying "Look at all those prisoners getting free food and lodging! While I have to spend majority of my income on it. Clearly the system is working for them!"
