I'm saying that data (not anecdotes) on those would've been better justification for your ranking.

That said, for most people, going abroad for surgery or to buy a home is not an option.

Yes. GDP per capita is data and a well known proxy for quality of life.

For example, declining productivity (which is what GDP per capita is) means a worse house price/income ratio, ie. worse affordability.
