Because that is what ultimately parents are concerned about, the end result of K-12, more so than the safety of middle class neighborhoods or the costs of childcare/healthcare for the average person.

The US is a big country and it’s easy to find many locations that have the same qualities PPs have mentioned about European countries especially the Nordic ones. Sure, we’ll never have universal healthcare but that doesn’t impact my family since we have great insurance and always have. We live in an amazing family oriented community that is walkable and bikable, has public transportation and great public schools. Our healthcare options are high quality and plentiful. Lots of parks and nature preserves and community amenities.
If I had to pick another country it would probably be Canada. I like Europe however being so close to the most unstable parts of the world would make me nervous. I like being far away from all of that.

I have all daughters. There there isn’t a second amendment that codifies bad peoples “ right” to own a gun to possibly kill them in schools, the mall or domestic abuse.
They also provide universal free access to contraceptives, maternal care and abortion.
Childbirth in the UK sounds rough. Air and gas instead of an epidural.
Much lower wages and a dying economy. The future of the UK is bleak. If it were a state, England would be as poor as Mississippi.
Sure, your child has contraceptives and maternal care, but so will your daughter here if she has a job or is married to someone with a job. In terms of abortion, she can have one in most states or travel if necessary. Most women aren’t frequently receiving an abortion.
How does childbirth in the UK “sound rough”? Please share your experience.
I'd like to know this, too. My spouse is from the UK, and they have several friends with children. One had a child same time we did here. We paid 6000 oop high deductible plan. They paid like $20 equivalent for pain medication when they were discharged.
