I don’t want to be confronted with inequality every day

(forgive me if it's sarcasm and I missed it)

Nobody wants confrontation because it's uncomfortable. But inequality like this is literally the inescapable reality migrant workers live in. Your average locals might be able to turn a blind eye to it, they can't.

Seems at least a little bit hypocritical to enjoy the life made easier by (often imported) cheap labor while not wanting to be aware of their troubles, or you know, live with them in close proximity.

The people who have to live with them are not the rich or the people making the decisions by any means - it's just the middle class who has to put up with it.

The rich don't take the metro, they are driven from place to place.
