I spent years in Singapore and loved it there. Never had to face road rage (which so many of us experience daily several times driving in Texas! NextDoor is full of these stories) or aggressive behavior by anyone in authority including police and immigration officers. I know many people find Singapore boring after a while but it didn't bother me much. On the flip side, the cost of living is high as a foreigner and traveling to the US is very tiring due to the long distance.
Some of that can be solved without leaving the US. Texas is very different from, say, the PNW. Road rage and aggressive police are not in any way a regular occurrence up here.
Yes, indeed. My family is seriously considering moving out of TX soon.
Boring is good for business.
I agree. Predictability is underrated.
It's underrated in popular discourse. Businesses are extremely aware of it. Hence their love for Switzerland, Singapore, the Netherlands, or even the US which despite political drama has a fairly predictable business environment (especially in regards to lots of precedents for legal cases).
