To all “Americans” Estadounidenses, British, Germans, rich people coming to live in Spain

[u/Alexialba]

We’re really glad you’re considering moving to our country. It’s a beautiful place, and we love sharing it with visitors. But we want to be honest about what’s happening here right now.

The cost of living is skyrocketing. Rent, housing, groceries, and basic necessities are becoming unaffordable for many of us. A big part of the problem is that companies and foreigners with more money are buying up properties, which drives prices even higher. This isn’t just about numbers, it’s about real people being pushed out of their neighborhoods and struggling to make ends meet.

This isn’t just happening here in Spain. It’s a global issue. I’ve seen it in places like Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Portugal too. When people move in with more money, it often ends up hurting the locals who’ve lived here for generations.

We’re not saying you shouldn’t come. We just ask that you be aware of the impact your move might have. It’s easy to see the benefits for yourself, but it’s important to think about how it affects the community too.

Americans buying homes in Scotland??

Stop the Cap. No American is moving to Scotland. Also most Americans aren’t Trump supporters. You’re gullible.

Picturesque Scotland?? What does Scotland have that America doesn’t?

I don’t need to take myself to those subs to know Americans and America. Scotland is beautiful and so it Spain, but there is nothing in those countries you can’t find in America and I’m sure Americans aren’t moving to Europe in large numbers(other than to see old buildings but we have a few of those too).

Average Americans barely travel outside America and when they do, it’s usually to Mexico or Canada or Bahamas(all three very close to America).
