Nice try..DeFacto. Sorry but I have to remind you that housing, and utilities are provided for in EK.
So you are left with education ..that is as well provided up to University for up to 3 kids ( and that is lot lot of money) and is instead extremely expensive ( up to 12000 USD per kid in primary school) and out of your pocket in Istanbul ( tried that on my skin) Than we can talk about cars ( 250% more expensive due absurd taxes in Turkey ( and fuel at almost 1,5 USD per liter. Than try and go rent in a nice neighborhood not one that seems having been by a post atomic fall out or built on garbage ...and you tell me the price. ..The only way THY could become barely competitive is by rising salaries by 20% , providing accommodation allowance and/ or commuting roster to everyone. 2 dimes less on milk or 5 dollar on a pizza are not enough my friend get real..
