Kuala Lumpur is now pricier than San Francisco for expatriates

[HIDDEN]

having lived in San Francisco for almost 10 years I can tell you that a conclusion such as KL is pricier that SF is simply designed to sell eyeballs because it has no basis in reality.

I don't mean to disparage the OP because it was from an article but it gave me a good laugh when I saw it.

I could go into details but I don't think its worth it honestly

trust me that KL and SF are not comparable and it is somewhat folly to try to

both are fantastic cities and I think that is where the comparison ends
