    That sounds great, but I suspect The Netherlands wouldn’t welcome me with open arms. Until then, I’m stuck in 'Murica.

      Because you’re disabled? Or because you’ve got an unseasonal tan or low-income?

      From my experience, the EU is enormously accepting and encouraging of rich white migrants, regardless of their mobility status.

        I’m disabled and definitely have a “year round tan”. I work, but the bulk of my recent experience is extremely specific to state and federal law/practices. My wife isn’t disabled, is lilly white, and works, but almost ALL her experience is working with US municipalities. We’re definitely not rich.

        It might be doable, we’re at least taking a stab at leaving the US.

      honestly, that’s worth the try :D But of course, it’s easy to always show the exception and ask “why aren’t you all doing the same?”. Decades of car centric politics will not be fixed easily, not with techbros reinventing trains, not in today’s 'Murica. It’s a shame, though, because there was a great streetcars infrastructure a century ago… maybe that’s the one thing America should bring back to be great again
