He lived in a small town in Oregon with his first wife. While they weren’t paid a lot, life wasn’t expensive either. I think he would have stayed except the marriage didn’t work out. Obviously that isn’t an entirely fair comparison to London, but I still think the pay-to-expenses ratio would be more favourable in small-town US than small-town UK

Yeah skilled labor in construction fields in the US can be very well paid, and there’s a massive demand and short supply.
