I normally agree with you but not this time I went back to OZ a few years ago no money in my pocket no job, found cheap acommodation on arrival and a job after a few weeks,
Worked there for a few years till I got laid off, applied for the pension found a decent unit to live in just 7 km away from the city of just over 2 million and still have not have a rent increase for 6 years and no the malls are not crowded easy to park as well but then again I can't talk about the US and I have less hassle here, no reporting to immigration no need to have money in the bank and many other things, so I am happy to made that move
