>Third Worlders skipping over their fellow Third Worlders and exclusively seeking access to the First World
>First World shuffling populations across itself (North Europeans wanting to go South for the weather, South Europeans wanting to go North for even better salaries, and so on)

I mean, it does look pretty legit.

Why?

you havent seen what third world shitholes are like
you wont believe it

 

[The Notorious SLAV]

Why?

Extremely rich country, insane opportunities, mostly safe if you stay out of the bad areas. Trust me, Americans by and large underrate how good their country is.

@The Notorious SLAV check this millionaire migration map out. It's more representative of where people *actually* want to live

I live in Washington, in a mostly White and Asian suburb, and I know that in many ways we have it far better than people in the third world. It is safe, clean, and convenient, but that does not mean the country is without serious problems. For example, housing prices, especially here, have become ridiculous: a normal middle-class salary barely covers rent in many places, and buying a house is out of reach unless you are already wealthy or inherited property. The gap between what people earn and what basic stability costs has grown wider, making the so-called opportunities far less real than they appear.

it's less about where people at large want to live and more so about which places are easier for you to not be taxed
do you think the average person in the west wants to move to the UAE

 

[Skelly]

do you think the average person in the west wants to move to the UAE

Yes? Do you not know about Dubai?

 

[weaselbomber]

Yes? Do you not know about Dubai?

dubai is tailor made specifically for millionaires, not common folx
regular dude from wisconsin working as an electrician probably would rather live in Spain or Italy or some shit instead of Dubai

Yeah, I've seen state-level maps for the US where Washington is one of the worst states when it comes to housing prices, but overall, housing affordability is actually one of the things in which the US excels, looking at median salaries and house prices, it's actually one of the most affordable markets in the world.

The numbers make the U.S. look affordable on paper because they average rural and low-demand areas with major cities. A house in rural Kansas or West Virginia may be cheap, but that does not help the millions who need to live where the jobs are, like New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, or Seattle. In those metro areas, the gap between income and housing cost is among the worst in the world, which is why the national average gives such a misleading picture.

They also have no state income tax as well which does help at least

but overall, housing affordability is actually one of the things in which the US excels, looking at median salaries and house prices, it's actually one of the most affordable markets in the world.

Buying a house can be cheap, but we also have property taxes which in my shit state are some of the highest. We also have tons of "nickle and dime fees" for electricity water MUD taxes etc. which in my state are very high, though other places vary

My State(Texas) has low wages on avg which have NOT kept up with current CoL including housing/rent.

We used to have a lot of cheap land and open spaces to build on, not so much now

In many ways, our States "system" if that makes sense is not built to handle change very well.

That makes sense. Texas built its image on cheap land and fewer regulations, but once migration surged the model collapsed. Wages remained low while housing demand spiked, and the infrastructure could not support the rapid growth.

Here in Washington, the median home price sits at roughly $605,000. In the Seattle area, it is closer to $900,000. Compare that to Washington's minimum wage, which is $16.66 an hour statewide and about $20.76 in Seattle. Even at full-time minimum wage, that comes out to between $34,600 and $43,600 a year, which is still far below what is needed to buy a home.

I love how this State obsesses over freedom when we rank very low in it

Just look at that "anti anime" bill basically.

A lot of businesses also are leaving for a variety of reasons: People don't like the curryland-tier climate, the shitty roads and general infrastructure, it's not as "cheap" as people put it out to be, and a lot of the attitudes people have here aren't great to say the least. When I said "system" I also meant in the socio-cultural factors of a lot of people and a lot here can't think beyond "change=liberal democrat progressive" or just a mentality of "it's just fine"

but once migration surged the model collapsed. Wages remained low while housing demand spiked, and the infrastructure could not support the rapid growth.

Yup. Our State just can't handle itself

Look at our power grid. It needs fixing due to all the issues we have yet no one gives a shit because sadly, a big part of the States attitude is a "I got mine fuck yours" one which is kinda the country as a whole but worse here. @UnchargedSamsung

How are apartments?

My neighbors daughter is a cert. surgeons assistant and she can't move there due to not being able to find a job there and lack of currency

I wouldn't mind living there tbh. For a Blue State, it is better than the rest for a few reasons. No income tax, nice scenery, not as demographically fucked yet, etc.

 

[FBI]

How are apartments?

Apartments are not much better. In Seattle, the average rent for a one-bedroom is around $2,000 a month, sometimes higher depending on the neighborhood. That means you need about $24,000 a year just to keep a roof over your head, and that does not include food, transportation, or anything else.

The lack of an income tax is a major factor, and I think it is part of why so many wealthy people choose to live here, from Bill Gates to Howard Schultz to the late Paul Allen. The scenery is certainly another: there are great hiking trails throughout the Cascades and the Olympics, and the mountains get enough snow that skiing is decent as well.

That being said, downtown Seattle is a mess. Whole blocks are filled with tents, sidewalks are taken over by the homeless, and open drug use and petty crime go largely unpunished. Businesses board up or leave entirely, and the city leadership does little to reverse it. The result is a strange mix of billionaires living on the waterfront and sprawling homeless encampments just a few blocks away.

That's pretty bad. A lot of Texas cities are becoming like this.

True, I just wanted to point out that, even after an averaging like that of their own, most of the world has house prices as bad or worse than the worst areas in the US for it.
