Trying to move to escape America's car-centric hell. The Netherlands is pretty high on the list but I wanted to explore other options. How do the following countries and their cities fair in terms of urbanism:

-Ireland

-Spain

-Belgium

-France

-Denmark

-Portugal

-Sweden

I could list more but I'll be here all night.

As a DINK household where both are tech workers - you have hit the nail on the head. We both can get visas to jist about anywhere in the western world with little to no difficulty, so for us it comes down to quality of life and salary. Sadly European salaries are so far depressed from our "normal" ( I make no illusion, we are well paid) take-home salary, that considering relocating across the globe is not currently a worthwhile headache.

I'm hedging my bets against the 2nd American civil war and getting the 2nd passport, but I also live in a country with a king and that's pretty silly in 2024.
