Yangon (Rangoon) more expensive than NYC - anyone want to move

from U Aung Tun's Facebook -

Aung Tun shared a link.
Prices are going up by the week, said Cherie Aung-Khin, a local restaurateur who wants to expand her Green Elephant eatery, which serves Burmese cuisine and is popular with foreign visitors. In early June, she viewed a 3,000-square-foot space for a second outlet for $3,800 a month. When she returned from a trip to Bangkok two weeks later, the landlord had raised the rent to $4,500. After negotiations, she settled for $4,200, she said.
