Pretty sure north Korea is similar.

The NYPD has a bigger budget than the DPRK. And New York hasn't been under siege by Pennsylvania for the last 80 years.

The NYPD is also not in constant famine, they're one of the richest cities on the planet.

That's like being surprised rent is more expensive in midtown Manhattan than in rural Texas.

Because they're an international trading hub at the central of a global empire.

North Korea is a bombed out backwater with more economic sanctions on it than Cuba, whose people spent the last 70 years gradually rebuilding after the US literally bombed them back to the stone age.

Even then, NYers are getting shot over proximity to fare evasion. Korea's rough, but I've yet to hear of anyone executed for failing to pay for a bus ticket.

edit: scratch that, Jersey should join in
