If you've got the income for a good standard of living it's one of the best places in the world to live.

I was born there.

We’ll be firmly upper middle class, but I am aware that the housing market is pretty brutal at the moment.

If we moved, it wouldn’t be for financial benefit, looking for a quality of life improvement. Our bet would be that the social safety net (healthcare, public school quality, etc) would help blunt the higher cost of living.
