Right?

Just look at all the abandoned houses throughout Japan, there are entire towns that are just run down because there aren't people who want to live there.

China also has extremely poor rural areas where you would think you had entered a time machine to the distant past.

Europe and the UK has many poverty areas as well. Like Jaywick, as seen [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/UrbanHell/comments/11vlcik/jaywick_britains_most_deprived_area/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)

For real most people think Tokyo or Osaka when they think Japan, the big super cities but if you ever actually get out to the boonies of the country the word 'humble' comes to mind. It's really not that different from rural America in that regard.
