If those cities are perfectly reasonable places to live, but Berlin is where you want to live, then you should write an article with a premise that reflects how you feel that American cities cannot compete with Berlin.

I'm going to repeat myself one more time because you seem to be missing my point: I am saying the premise is flawed. I am not comparing Miami to Berlin, I am saying that the author is insisting on certain prerequisites and then saying that his family can't afford to live in AMERICA at all.

If you can't agree that this is disingenuous then we are going to have to agree to disagree.

You appear to have missed that this thread is discussing a specific person's choice to live in Berlin and not the article.
