Their counterparts in the U.S. have better sports programs and other amenities at their kids’ schools, proximity to colleges that have far better facilities, the golf courses are open 12 months a year, they have access to cheap labour for lawn maintenance/cleaning/nannies, enjoy better and more varied shopping, and have far more direct flights to family or holiday locations. Not to mention access to the world’s best health care 24/7 with no wait times. And they pay lower taxes.
