alt Hacker NewsYeah, go gentrify the locals in some lower-cost-of-living country. You sure 'deserve' it because for some reason you have a 'right' to just immigrate there and buy their housing and sh*t from under their feet.

I appreciate your frustration, dumbledoren. Your comment speaks to perspectives I could expect to face in another country - thank you.
I can only say my personal intent isn't that. I live a simple life. My family has a small, old home. We garden, grow our own food, and are respectful to our environment.
I prioritize supporting small, local businesses.
I wouldn't want to parachute into another country acting as though I Know Better™ and bringing my "American sensibilities" to another country.
If I were to leave the US, I see myself entering another country, hat in hand, knowing fully I'm not better or special, and it's my job to adapt and to respect the culture and country.
What motivates such a rude answer? The parent is genuinely exposing a personal question. Nothing in his post suggests that he would go gentrify a low COL place.
