So another thread ( https://lemmy.world/post/17746018 ) got me wondering… How many people would want to move to another country?
Just to provide a concrete scenario, let’s assume that in your current country you (magically) have a decent-ish job. They open up offices in another country of your choosing, and you have the option of moving there and work for an equivalent living wage.
They’re able to get visas set up (however improbable that may be) for you and any family, but you have to go through the process of finding housing, physically moving your belongings and anything else you need to set up.
What countries would you take the offer to move to, if any?
Did a quick check and yeah I was massively exaggerating, you can get some in the 600k to 1.3M€ for small ones with mooring in the center, which is still pretty unaffordable for normal people but not as outlandish as I made it out to be. The points about additional costs to the city and the mortgage stuff remains though.
