That seems very unlikely. Housing is expensive in most of the major metropolitan areas in the US, but you more than make up for it with higher salaries.

The rest of your argument makes perfectly good sense, there's lots to love about living and working in Europe! It may well be worth it to you.

But it's disingenuous to mix those quality of life arguments with an argument about money. Tech workers in the US tech hubs live a financially/materially more comfortable life than those in Europe.

Genuinely don't understand why you would see these as disconnected from each other.

Obviously as you can see from my comment above, I disagree with this view.
