Seems like it’s a well known fact that being poor or even middle class (if that will even exist anymore) in the US disposes one to a very low quality of life (e.g., living in areas with higher crime rates, bad healthcare, the most obvious being cost of living, …etc)

On the flip side, what are some reasons why the top 1-5% percentile would also want to leave the US? (e.g., taxes/financial benefits, no longer aligning with the culture? I would assume mainly the former)

If you are in the top 1-5%, is living in the US still the best place to live? (as many people would like to suggest)

    From the answers just from Europeans, parents in the following capitals (not even including smaller cities and towns):

    1. Vienna (Austria)
    2. Warsaw (Poland)
    3. Berlin (Germany)
    4. Prague (Czechia)
    5. Talinn (Estonia)
    6. Ljubliana (Slovenia)
    7. Amsterdam (Netherlands)
    8. Helsinki (Finland)
    9. Dublin (Ireland)
    10. Bern (Switzerland)
    11. Lisbon (Portugal)
    12. Madrid (Spain)
    13. Reykjavík (Iceland)
    14. Moscow (Russia)
    15. Zagreb (Croatia)
    16. Copenhagen (Denmark)
    17. Baku (Azerbaijan)

    And from personal experience this is also perfectly normal for children to explore the city alone in Singapore, Seoul, Tokyo, and Taipei.

    And again, I’m just listing the capitals where it’s safe. A comprehensive list would be way too long.
