> I would like to see numbers factoring in things like public transportation, health insurance, etc If that's worth more than $50k or so anyone living in the US that's not making significantly more than the median wage or would be in pretty horrible spot financially. > hit our very high deductible.

Also taxes are usually significantly higher in Europe with some exceptions (e.g. Switzerland vs California, though you need to pay for your health insurance yourself in Switzerland ).
