You pay less tax than in Texas. You pay less for healthcare than anywhere in the US. Your property taxes (council taxes) are lower than Texas. You have lower interest rates for mortgages than the US. You have cheaper, more fuel efficient vehicles than the US. Your car insurance is less than a quarter US car insurance rates. Your food is literally half the cost of US food. So yes, your incredibly cheap life with your incredibly high wages makes your housing market much better than ours.
