The US sounds extremely expensive. In the EU 1500$ a month will pay for a very nice apartment close to work.

I work for a tiny city that's basically a private enclave for the ultra-rich in the middle of a major city.

Literally every household is millionaires or better, and we have a lot of citizens whose names you'd know.

Here in the USA my mortgage on a modestly sized house is half that cost. Owning a home in the EU sounds much more expensive to me.
