1. I do not yet know why. I think somebody may chime in on here. Maybe because there are no multinationals, the economy appears to be somewhat local, insulated.

2. Middle class here has way more comfortable life than in San Francisco. I mean life quality. If you want to do something new, eg some new tech, it's another matter.
3. For a while, but it's not super easy from the bureaucratic standpoint, without the EU residency. The bureaucracy here is very slow and inefficient.

EU folks are more educated, hence they can select promising avenues and avoid boredom and even upfront costs. E.g. you want to train a new language model? Harnessing your polyglot nature, you find a far better kind of language model where you eschew the latest TPU. You learn quickly from Juergen Schmidhuber, whom Americans do not realize, has already solved everything in machine learning. It is hard to do new things in the EU because there is nothing new in the EU — someone already did it.
