I spent a couple of years in Lausanne so am aware. Swiss police don't mess around, you need to follow the rules if you want to live there.
Can confirm. Things just work in Switzerland. It’s a tough change to live/go back elsewhere.
I grew up in the US, live in Italy now, and just spent a few weeks in Switzerland. It felt constricting. I missed a bit of the chaos - particularly while driving.
Yes, I miss the chaos of securing myself riding on Roman subways.
To each their own.

I have fixed that for you.
That affordability is closely related with fiscal policy...
And morality and their conscientiousness (what a word).
If you look at the map of Europe, lay it over with that fiscal discipline and above, there is no mystery how things like income are spread out across the map, it all makes sense. Also a good confirmation that well regulated but proper capitalism is the easiest path for any country to long term prosperity.
