1. Family and support systems are here, not Europe.
2. Cost. I do not thing you understand how unfathomably expensive it would be to move from North America to Europe. Heck moving around the States can be extremely expensive already.
3. Unfamiliar culture. The average American is steeped in American Culture and is ignorant of anything elsewhere.
4. No ties to Europe.
5. Desire. Americans are blasted every day about opportunities here. We constantly hear about immigrants coming here but we never hear about opportunities over there. Our news plays into this, as they only cover bad things, so if we hear about Europe it's epically bad.
- mattbrewsbytes 3y agoGood ordering. There's also the entire topic of visa's and right to work in places in EU that may have restrictions on foreigners taking jobs away. Vacationing to places in EU is fun but you won't see/hear about the large issues the people living there have on a daily basis. You're a tourist doing sight-seeing.
- Symbiote 3y agoCost depends on how much you own. A colleague moved here from Canada with two suitcases. Someone else brought an entire container of furniture. I moved here with 1m³ of stuff sent by road/sea and three suitcases on the plane, but some years later and I somehow own an apartment full of stuff.
