Milan, totally unrelated fact! The average rent in Milan has gone up ~15% the last year, and this is far from the first year this happens. I just checked and a 34sqm sardine box (360sqft for our burger comrades) runs €800 a month (and that's cheap, the average rent for a 80sqmt apartment is about 1100-1500€ in a city where the average salary is barely 2k (maany, especially young ppl, earn less)
I've heard (and not personally confirmed, tho it's very probable) that the average rent in Helsinki is very close to the average rent in Milan, except in Finland the average salary is at least €1000 above.
The rental market in Milan is a national
stereotype and meme at this point, if you're young you either share a shoebox with 10 strangers or you live here:

All photos from different zones, also sometimes the cops like to use "very persuasive ways" to evict the people who live here.
Milan is also considered a "good city" (read: good city if you're a 🐷 or you have a well-paying career)
Edit: also I know the UᛋᛋA has some slums in the big cities, but Idk if they are as big as districts or something like that
I'm not sure if it's still there but there was a group of people who built a shanty town in the old city dump and I think were left alone because no one had to see it. Some of them even had electricity from wiring car engines.
I wonder if we'll actually start to see real slums pop up in the west.

Depending on how you define slums, it's already been happening.
fucking shantytowns would be an upgrade over the shit we're doing today!
Trailer parks exist in rural areas.
Any area in a city where both housing and a power plant, chemical refinery, or trash dump exist next to each other.
