A woman in Beijing has spent the past 20 years living in a hole as she's too poor to move back to her home city, it's reported.

Quan Youzhi moved into the underground utility compartment in Beijing after her home in the eastern city of Shangqiu collapsed, the state-owned China Daily newspaper reports. She uses washrooms in nearby Lido Park, and quarrels with her husband who lives in a neighbouring hole. Hot water pipes keep the 9m square compartment warm in winter, but she has to stay above ground in summer when it gets too hot, or if rain causes it to flood. The 66-year-old, who collects empty bottles for a living, says she would like to rebuild her house but doesn't have the money.

Dublin with the price of rent is now starting to lose out to investors and employers. and now its start to look unattractive to invest in Dublin

Hubs and I feel very fortunate to only be paying €1050 a month for our well-insulated, low-bills-and-gym-included gaff. And now rent caps are here - woohoo!

This isn't the Daily Mail OP. Try for consistency. If not, at least try to reach the next paragraph before completely changing tack rather than the very next sentence.

Having lived in a number of big cities I would say that Dublin is probably expensive when you consider the lifestyle available, environment and the average salary. I like Dublin and I like walking its streets but the cost of rent is just too much. I don't care if I can afford something or not, but I care about value for money. There are so many bigger, cheaper, arguably nicer, equally interesting cities in the world, and the majority of them have better weather.

If you're confined to Ireland, but have a fairly high salary or the likelihood of attaining a high salary it's unquestionably the best place to be.

Moved to Sydney. Live 4km south of the CBD. From door to desk in 18mins. Have much much, more disposable income that I had in Dublin. 1/4 of my monthly wage goes on rent compared to 1/3 at home living all the way out of the Dublin where I worked in poxy Maynooth.

Dublin/Ireland is a rip off. My eyes have been opened to how bad it is at home.

Sydney is the second most expensive city in the world though.

Absolutely it is. You get what you pay for. Helps keep the knuckle draggers outside the pale m50

Was it naked?
Did it have clothes?
If it had clothes on, are they ghost-clothes?
Do clothes die?

That it may be, however wages of even the most menial jobs are proportionately good. Additionally, there is bucket loads of high quality rental accommodation within good proximity of the city centre and vastly connected transport links. It makes a huge difference when loads of rental supply and cheaper and much more frequent rail travel.

I used to be sick of listening to the lads who returned from Aus a few years back compare about how good they had it there compared to struggling month to month at home with various expenses. How right they were.

Cos Dublin is so expensive the poor ghost couldn't afford clothes. And to make it worse, someone was still claiming his social welfare even though he was dead.

And in Sydney. Which is also a rip off.

It's basically a problem with "Anglo Saxon" economies.

Median house prices in Sydney = $1m

Are all capital cities the most expensive cities in their countries? No.

"It's a capital" is no argument at all.

20 months of such rent back down in the old town would see you having it made with no more accommodation costs for life:

Your security costs in this particular arrondisement might jump a little though, possibly even to €1050 a month.:pac:
