It is true for any city to some extent I guess. But yeah their methodology is strange. I think they focus on the upper slice. I remember the year when Luanda came on top. Btw Singapore really hates being placed at no 1 and disagree with it. I remember they even had a voting installation at ORQ MRT asking people to vote if they agreed or not that Singapore was the most expensive city in the world. Last time I saw it, about 80% agreed. But then ORQ is full of expat bankers and tourists.
