    Americans said “well there’s no where to gentrify in America, let’s find some new countries to raise rent prices in” lmfao

      vaguely reminded of all of the crypto grifters who moved to puerto rico after the island was devastated by Hurricane Maria to take advantage of the cheap real estate/energy and lack of taxation

        I currently do work remotely from home in the US. Not long ago I was seriously considering being a digital nomad, though. Seeing this makes me feel like maybe it might not be such a good fit for me 😔

            I’ve been doing okay at getting to know the locals in here Dallas, Texas since I moved here a few years ago, but interacting with people has never been my strong suit. I am improving though. It wasn’t too long ago that I would have said knowing your neighbors is unimportant. Nowadays it seems necessary for survival. Never too late I suppose ¯_(ツ)_/¯
