Americans are dissatisfied with the status quo and want to "flee" Europe, which means that Portuguese and other countries are popular

[Global Times Comprehensive Report] In the past two years, Americans, which are mainly Chinese and young, have moved to Europe and buying houses in the local area. The scale of immigration has set a new record. US media analysis believes that the increasingly worse social living environment that is difficult to reach in the United States is an important factor in "fleeing".

Bloomberg reported on the 21st that according to industry insiders, the European countries that were most favored by Americans were Italy, Portugal, Spain, France and Greece. From April to June this year, Americans intending to move to Greece increased by 40%compared with the same period last year; and immigrants in France and Italy reached the highest point in the past three years. Sotheby's financial report shows that in the first quarter of this year, Americans' home property activities in Italy accounted for 12%of the company's total revenue of the Italian business sector, an increase of 7%over the same period last year. In 2021, Americans who moved to Portugal increased 45%over the previous year.

Generally speaking, home ownership in Europe is a patent for rich American or retirement retirers. However, according to the US "Forbes" magazine, the new crown pneumonia's epidemic has brought "fundamental changes" to people's work and lifestyle. People began to pursue a more quality and healthy life. "Disting tide". Due to the no longer restricted by the office, many low -housing cities and towns in Europe have attracted more and more young American people. The near -ending of the US dollar and the euro exchange rate has also made Europe's home property more cost -effective. Not only that, many European countries have launched long -range office visas without losing time to solve the trouble of long -term residence and taxation, which greatly reduces the threshold for moving away. Some villages and towns with sparsely populated Europe have also launched "one -dollar purchase" housing in recent years, attracting many external attention. The former Atlanta citizen Singkley said that the soaring house prices made her "looking at the building and sighing," and instead purchased real estate in Sicily, Italy. The 37 -year -old senior executive Dixon said that in addition to house prices, she value the European living environment even more because "there are too many American violence and I want my child to have a normal childhood." Now she lives with her children in the coastal city of Portugal. (Liu Haoran)
