Exactly.
I live in a big European city. You basically don't need a car - pretty much anything within the city is reachable in about 30min, and public transit is comfy.
Also, I have a public transit ticket that allows me to travel the entire country for a year, which only cost about 1000€.
Yes, salaries are lower, but I also don't have to save anything to get my kids through university, or keep emergency funds for health issues.
Also, I can't just get fired without cause. And if I do get laid off, I have 3 months of grace period, plus potentially years of unemployment money.
Also, the government even pays for certain courses so I can find employment again.
The social system in Europe is amazing.
