I'm a German citizen living in the United States (SF Bay Area) since 5 years now and I think your post is completely overstating Germany.
Better education - Kind of, although most of the top universities are still in the US.
Better attitude - Nope, not in my opinion
More open-minded - Nope, not in my opinion
Less harassment for being weird/nonstandard - Nope, not in my opinion
Healthier food - Yes, I agree on that
Better transport - Yes
More cultural things to do/see - Always depends on the area and there's enough to see in the SF Bay Area
Better solutions to the growing underclass problem - I only partially agree here. There's a reason why the Euro is on the decline in the last couple of months. Europe has many problems still to solve. Of course, the US also has many problems, that's why I partially agree.
