I know places like Portugal and Spain are going through serious housing crunches right new and I know expats often exaggerate those problems. So where can an American flee oppression without just oppressing someone else?

For context: I’m a progressive lefty, thinking about long term relocation options cause the fash is getting pretty thick around here.

Edit: I know immigrants and expats (US or other) are not solely responsible overseas housing issues, but housing issues definitely exist across Portugal, Netherlands, etc. I don’t want to increase that burden and would feel shitty if my housing offer outbid 300 local applicants.

    If you bring lots of money there are quite a few countries that are just fine with Americans showing up.

    Also, quite a few countries are welcoming if you expend the multi-year effort to assimilate and contribute, and definitely not waste people’s time with unsolicited comparisons between their country and your former homeland.
