There is still a massive difference between poor people living in slums and people with comfortable, but not ridiculously high income living in a better area.

This is true, but only if you leave out the upper band of the comparison range.

It's like saying that there's a massive difference between the size of a rice grain and the size of a loaf of bread, but leave out the literal planet in comparison.
