Yes and?
Treating rome like some sort of perfect utopia is stupid.
The only history that survived is likely state enforced propaganda given the militaristic nature of the empire.
Rome was ahead of every wester civilization at its time, i am the first ot say this.
But treting like a legendary golden age is dangerous.

I'm from New York. The cost of living has nothing to do with partisan politics. The point is that if you're criticizing the cost of living, you should see which states have higher rates of poverty. You'll always find states like West Virginia, Arkanas, Misissipi, to have the highest rates of poverty in the country and the highest percentage of people living below the poverty line and dependents on food stamps or other social safety programs.

That could easily be chalked up as major cities having less poverty per population, primarily since all of the skilled workers and the wealthier individuals would flock to those areas instead of staying in lesser "developed" areas of the US.
That, and politics.
If the cost of living creeps up higher, eventually there's going to be a tipping point where life isn't going to be sustainable for a lot of people that live there. When that point reaches, they'll start moving to smaller cities with cheaper cost of living (that is sustainable long term).
Promises of wage increases are great, although will it be enough to mitigate the rampant inflation that's hitting mostly democrat run cities harder?
Besides, someone could be described as "impoverished" depending on their income within their city and not be counted as a part of poverty statistics because these people still earn a bit more than the min. Poverty threshold although the actual cost of living would vastly exceed this minimum threshold.
There could be other problems arising, such as more crime in democrat cities that are not being managed very well + increase in homeless population?
Edit: Pull up by your bootstraps aside, it's ironic that it takes less money/work to live in a more conservative smaller city VS a liberal larger city (l expect larger cities to accept democrat values more than conservative ones)
Maybe this so called increasing inflation is a prelude to a recession that's going to affect all of US for decades
