Yes, the naivety of OOP not realizing that southern Europe is some of the most expensive real estate in the world and that the Americans moving there are moving with hoarded wealth is hilarious to me. “Let them eat cake” energy
Yeah, give Mexico City a try. It’s very much the same, only not so financially out of reach. You can get an okay house there for like $70,000 so you can buy a $2.5 million mansion. It’s up to you and what kind of money you have.
I’m just coming back off of three weeks there and holy crap what a difference between America and Mexico.
Every street corner has foot traffic. There are shops every two city blocks for a 20 mile radius. There’s a variety and art and culture, and everyone’s just taking it easy. No one’s in a big rush, even when their traffic is absolutely insane, it’s insanity that’s dealt with with a logical mind.
Culturally, America is 100 years behind Mexico City.
Mexico City has horrible air quality, is running out of water, and is literally sinking because of over-consumption tho? Not exactly where I’d want to make any long-term plans.
Seattle. It’s changed a lot, but it used to be affordable and that it was taboo to even ask where you worked. Reps would blow you off constantly to go skiing or hiking. Now, the greeds have taken completely over, but the lifestyle remains.
You’re mentioning one city, talking about needing money to live there. The entire continent of Europe is like the op’s post. Not just southern Europe and not just cities. And you don’t need to be rich to live there.
Madison, Wisconsin. Most of the Great Lakes area (sans Chicago) in my experience. It’s a beautiful region. Lots of cultural holdover from the Scandi immigrants that first populated it
There are places in America that are like this, you have to be able to afford it though.
Or be so poor and in such a backwater place that time has no meaning.
I’m originally from Mississippi. I feel this comment.
My dad always called it the land that time forgot…

Last time I checked there were actually non-rich people in southern Europe.
People don’t seem to realize that rich people actually need non-rich people living near them, and they’re not all live-in servants.
There’s like 6 of them
Most of Southern Europe is significantly poorer than most of Northern Europe…
Are you sure it’s hoarded and they didn’t just spent it on a home in Southern Europe?

Ah, so were like this
No, it’s still mostly like this, you just have to be rich to live in the city.
