    Move to Italy

    • Dirt cheap cost of living

    • Housing prices like it’s 1999

    • Main line HSR that runs from Venice to Lyons and Milan to Reggio Calibre

      And boy does that HSR move. Used it to get from Rome to Naples a few years ago, and while being extremely comfortable it moved at around 320 km/h. I think it took like 1 hour to get to Napoli.

      Any idea on how hard it is to immigrate to Italy and what kind of job prospects there are? I think it’d be a cool place to live, but I honestly haven’t really considered it.

        The legislature made it significantly more difficult just a month or two ago

        what kind of job prospects there are?

        None. The labor economy is completely in the shitter.

          Plus, I assume virtually every job there is expects you to be fluent in Italian. Italian plus English would be very useful in some jobs, but like most countries you have to know the language.
