For me, it’s family. Even within the US I know there are a lot of better places to live with more to do, more walkable neighborhoods, etc. But my wife and I both have our parents here, and we both have 2 siblings and there are 9 cousins (our generation’s kids) and I love watching them grow up together. As much as I disagree with the politics locally and Nationally, I also love that I don’t have to raise my kids on an island. So it’s either stay here, or join a cult somewhere.
