More like people just don't want to leave their life behind... Those listed things are like the bottom of the reasons

  On the other hand, I know dozens of people that left their life and higher salaries in the US behind to come to the EU for those stated reasons.

    From my observation, the ratio of American Engineers coming to Europe vs Europeans Engineers coming to America is at least 1:10, if not more. And most of the expats I know who did it seemed to be working for SV companies. So they didn't leave the higher salary behind.

      Yes, it's definitely more than 1:10 overall. But those reasons to leave the US (unhealthy work load, less social safety, higher violence) are at the top of many people's minds when they move to Europe.
