There are some places of value there.
Portugal is really cheap and had programs to bring in digital nomads. Berlin has a relatively low cost of living for Germany with decent amenities.
The split between developing and developed has dissolved.
Berlin and low cost of living... Where did you get that information from?
Berlin can be good value once you're settled. The problem is usually finding a decent apartment, not paying for it.
Compared to the rest of Western Europe it is.
Portugal is (far) eastern europe.
Did you mean western?
No, it is/was meme on the other site, in a lot of statistics Portugal aligns more with Eastern Europe. If you go far enough to the east you end up in the west, so Portugal is just a far eastern european country instead of western european.
