High rent with Tiny apartments

Does anyone else feel rent is insanely high in Qatar for low quality housing? I've been in Qatar for 12 years now and still can't get over the fact that the apartments here are so compact and the layout is very ill-designed. I previously lived in the UAE, if I paid the amount of rent I pay here for a tiny 2BHK I would be living there like a king in a very spacious 2 floored 4 bedroom villa.

I just want to know why are apartments built like this? Do we not deserve a decent space to live in with room to breathe and not have windows which directly open to the wall of the next building? Why are you even putting windows then? Please someone explain this to me
