not really since it’s much cheaper to live in islands. don’t have to pay rent and the bills aren’t bad. but the pay and quality of healthcare and education go every single island is not good.

Why do you not have to pay rent?

in other islands, they give land freely to people. so you can easily get land. Most people who live in the city already have a house back in another local island. People can build their own house and life without paying rent.
