A lot of Chileans don't like chile, but IMO they just fall in the "neighbour has geener grass" fallacy, we have a lot of problems but we have a lot of the tools to fix them, tools that many other countries don't.

I think that, provided you have studies or some money, chile is a great country to live, Chilean culture, at its core, has a lot of solidarity, people do think about other people, specially in a natural disaster.

The government, as much as they have done dumb shit, it's generally competent in keeping the country afloat, they got everyone vaccinated from COVID very early for example.

Good infrastructure, public and private health, tons of natural beauty, is reasonably safe, even if less than in the past, yeah, I like chile, I think I'm lucky to have been born here, could have been a lot worse.

You may like chile too, I can't say, but, specially if you hold on to an online US job (Chilean jobs pay way less) you should be pretty fine here as an American.

Thanks so much for taking the time to write this up. I just told my wife we're moving to Chile and she thinks I'm crazy. Of course, lacking any context from here, that's understandable.
