Yeah, I get that people have different thoughts and priorities on what is luxurious to them. That makes sense. I'm not really a car person since I grew up needing one for 30 years in LA finding parking multiple times a day. I just wouldn't make too many assumptions about how things work over here. Not sure why there is an assumption that I live in a small apartment. Big houses are also cheap in the suburbs over here :) You should visit sometime!

Disagreeing is fine but myth is an odd word to choose since I live it in 2023. For reference, I'm from Los Angeles, moved to EU and can attest to this.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Quality of life is much easier and cheaper here in EU so, in general, our standard of life doesn't cost as much. I generally assume that a dev salary here is equivalent to a salary in the US that is about 2x. So we are cheaper cause half the salary here gives us a really nice life somewhat similar to what someone would have in the US at 2x.
