Are those in cheaper countries than the US/UK?
Pretty comparable according to numbeo.com. The US is 9th on numbeo.com’s cost of living plus rent index, with a score of 61, meaning it’s about 61% as expensive as New York City. The Netherlands is 20th (50.9), the UK is 23rd (48.1), and Germany is 30th (46.5).
Note that London is much more expensive than a UK average would suggest
I understand your point, but typically retreats aren’t hosted in capital cities.
