I'm one of those who had to make the unfortunate jump like your friends to this fabricated concrete jungle.
I don't want to put much negative hate energy into the situation that is already not optimal except monetarily—for now.
I think there might be a better solution back in Europe to build something and live in it. Because here, I don't feel like leaving my house at all. Even though I grew up here before moving to Europe in first place.
I don't the cold and never loved not seeing the sun for good part of the year in Germany, but that wasn't the main reason I had to leave. EU is literally stripping its citizens from their rights and their assets. That I couldn't handle.
