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.

    Ignorant nonsense. I live in nyc and tons of us LOVE that people from other countries have moved here. Tons of blended immigrant neighborhoods is one of the things that makes this place so freaking fantastic. Chinatown, little Italy, koreatown, little Caribbean, little Odessa, Spanish Harlem,… fugeddaboutit
