The us is more of an individualistic than social country. And it’s only for certain jobs in certain areas. Some things, however, are the responsibility of the individual rather than “society” and I suspect raising children is one such area. There’s more to life than money, so consider all aspects of any transition to/from the us carefully.

Edit: there are good comments on this thread. Props to the HN community on this one.

Edit2: cars. City centres, for the most part, are not anywhere near as liveable as elsewhere. If you’re used to living on foot or on a bike, and shopping for food on the way home, etc, it’s not there.
