This is just too much hyperbole. Describing the entire US as a "terrible place to have a family" is just ridiculous. Perhaps in some urban bubble that's the case, but there are wonderful places where raising a family is affordable and enjoyable.
- T2_t2 8y agoThe US is so varied, it is like saying Europe. I can't imagine anyone not being able to find a part of the US they find appealing. Like pretension? Portland calling here. Like Theatre? NYC calling. Like the cold? Alaska on the line. Like surfing? Hawaii here. Like the great outdoors? Pick one of a million places. You just can't do that in any individual countries in Europe, as they are all smaller than most US states, with far less varied environments.
- magduf 8y agoIt's not ridiculous at all. It is literally illegal to leave a child alone at home under the age of 12 years now in America (at least in my state, Virginia). That's not what I call "affordable"; child care expenses make it impossible for people to have children in this environment.
