30 or 50 year mortgage is USA 

Sounds like you live in the enlightened EU

How much is rape avoidance worth?

I agree, more people need to leave USA, especially if they can't speak English

Why did America outlaw cheap homes?

*tsk* man you're just gonna list some high paying job and then throw some 30 year mortgage on it and call it a day. 

The point is not that 60% of people could get a place to live if they just moved, the point is honestly that needing to pay off a home for 30 years is nuts to begin with (Now 50). 

AND

That the job market is not big enough for a significant percent of people regardless of where they moved (because they'd each be competing for each other's jobs) would not be able to afford a home. Its a systemic problem.

And dammit, even if everyone could be getting a remote job, just why live in the US? You'd save so much money living somewhere else.
