Related to quality of life, I'll take cycling to work in a Nordic country over an American life with two cars and a huge dishwasher.

It sucks when you need to buy / move furniture though.

I really miss that side of the freedom in the US. It's also much easier to drive in the US due to the huge, straight roads.

But isn't that an extremely rare event?

Maybe you move more than anyone I've ever known but I don't see how something so minor could meaningfully affect quality of life.

Yeah, this was always such a weird complaint. I'm sure that there are moving companies which will do that for you, or you can probably rent some truck and do it yourself if wanted.

I don't own a car but where I live (Gothenburg, Sweden), you can rent a car easy with an app: https://m.co/se/en-US/
