I think people significantly underestimate the economic power of the United States. For quality of life, income, and opportunity, you'd almost certainly want to be in, say, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Kansas City, or St. Louis (none of which are on the list) than Lagos, Nairobi, Bogota, Bratislava, or Bucharest (all of which are on the list).
I know, I know. You think of those as nowhere places. But that's because, again, you're vastly underestimating the economic power of the United States and its cities.
- ctlaltdefeat 9y agoI don't know, I would much rather be in Bratislava or Bucharest than Pittsburgh (the only one out of your list I've been in) in terms of quality of life, income, and opportunity. Language is a different story though...
- dionidium 9y agoAs a St. Louisan, let me just say I'd rather be in Bratislava or Bucharest, too! Sounds super fun! But, I don't think this holds up if you discount the novelty factor. In purely economic terms, you'd want to be in Pittsburgh.
- smnscu 9y agoHaving lived in Bucharest for most of my life (and in many other countries as well), I recommend Cluj if you really want to live in Romania. Bucharest has nice areas if you have the patience to look for them, but its traffic, noise, and pollution are unbearable
