Then you probably know how prohibitively expensive it can be, especially if you want access to developed nations like in Europe. So this isn't even an option for the vast majority of American citizens. I know you're not responding in good faith so I'll just drop it.

This is also false. You can't just renounce your citizenship if you want to. To renounce US citizenship you must submit an application and appear in person for affirmation. They will not approve your application if you don't have a second passport or citizenship somewhere else. They aren't going to just make stateless people.

This is completely false. US citizens must file taxes and are liable for income taxes no matter where they live.

Edit: I also know this because I recently filed my US taxes from my full-time residence in Germany.

Kong Strong. And it's like half a euro at my Lidl.

The funny thing about german is you can make new compound words to describe something. It could be a bit nonsensical without context but it should translate roughly to "homeland-retribution-pride".

Definitely learn the articles along with the word. The lack of this in certain learning apps like Duolingo is a major shortcoming.

Also related, I would recommend memorizing verbs with their prepositions. Bitten um, Denken an, Sich freuen auf/über

This show came on alongside another one called The Maxx which is also worth checking out.

He got community-noted for being wrong. Per usual, it's only a matter of time before he deletes his post.

Haha. I read that a lot, but it's honestly not so bad as long as you stay away from the Hauptbahnhof. That area is truly awful.

Being an expat still comes with tax obligations to the US, no matter where you live in the world. I moved to Germany but I still have to file US taxes every year unless I renounce my US citizenship someday. That's one the most notable downsides that I can think of.

I'll clarify. Not all the prices in Denver are going to be that high since Denver is large. My example from Speer Blvd was likely a worse case scenario since it's downtown Denver. Not on the edge of the city limits like 9 mile.

You said you can't imagine the prices being that different in Denver. In some parts, it is. The deals you posted at 9 mile are not representative of Denver as whole. Likewise with the more expensive downtown locations.
