I'll tell you more, real estate cost cheaper in EU and if you buy 500k+ one and live few years in it, then you'll get citizenship of that country, plus free healthcare of course
Look up most of EU immigration programs, in most countries of EU there's choice of buying real estate, apartment, house, or whatever, some countries like Greece requires 250k+ some countries like Spain and Portugal 500k+ , what I'm trying to say, you can buy real estate with price higher than minimal requirement by country, live few years there, get citizenship and all perks it gives, if you don't believe me then look it up yourself
yeah and neither is public education, yet most people here consider it to be free to the individual, unless it's a charter school, in which case it makes money because it's actually a tax loophole apparently.
