Case-Shiller data shows real home price returns turned negative in 2025
Annual home price growth continued to cool at the end of 2025, according to the S&P Cotality Case-Shiller Index released on Tuesday.
The national home price index came in at a reading of 327.36 in December, reflecting a 1.3% year-over-year increase, down from the 1.4% yearly increase recorded in November. On a monthly basis, prior to seasonal adjustment, the national index was down 0.3%.
According to the release, inflation outpaced home price growth throughout the second half of 2025, reversing a decade-long trend of positive real returns on home prices. Overall, national home prices grew just 1.3% in 2025, marking the weakest full-year gain since 2011, when prices dropped 3.9%. Additionally, this is 5.3 percentage points below the 6.6% 10-year annual average.
“Two structural forces have reshaped the market over recent years: mortgage rates and inflation. The 30-year mortgage rate closed 2025 at 6.2%, well above the 4.8% 10-year average and a sharp contrast to the 3.9% average that prevailed from 2016 through 2020,” Nicholas Godec, the head of fixed income tradables and commodities at S&P Dow Jones Indices, said in a statement. “ Meanwhile, annual inflation for 2025 came in at 2.7% — modestly below the 3.1% 10-year average — but still outpaced home price appreciation by 1.4 percentage points, effectively eroding real home values for most owners. This marks a notable reversal: Over the prior decade, national home prices outpaced inflation by 3.7 percentage points annually, a dynamic that has quietly reversed, with real home price returns turning negative in June 2025.”
The 10-city index also recorded slower annual home price growth in December, jumping 1.9% on a yearly basis to 357.32, while the 20-city index rose 1.4% year-over-year, the same as a month prior, to a reading of 336.89. Prior to seasonal adjustment, both indexes were down 0.1% month-over-month.
Of the 20 cities indexed, Chicago reported the highest annual price gain at 5.3% in December, followed by New York (5.1%) and Cleveland (4.0%). At the other end of the spectrum, Tampa reported the largest annual decline dropping 2.85%, followed by Denver (-2.06%) and Phoenix (-1.53%).

Fab you don’t get to mix and match civil and criminal matters. Immigration is a civil matter and the fact is Garcia had an order for deportation signed by a judge. The fact he is still here is because the Judge did not do his job, and cut him loose, and put him in legal limbo for the rest of his life. As I have been saying all along Congress needs to update our Immigration laws again. We cannot have people roaming our streets who cannot legally work, pay taxes and support the system. It’s wrong at every level and they are being treated unfairly by our Congress and being taken advantage of by business owners who illegally don’t pay taxes to support the system either.

Lol 22 acres, these people think this makes a dent? There are data centers now being built that will be the size of Manhattan.
Local authorities in New Brunswick, New Jersey, voted on Wednesday against allowing the construction of a data center on a plot of land slated for redevelopment, instead requiring that a park be built on the site.
The New Brunswick City Council was evaluating a proposal concerning the Jersey-Sandford redevelopment area, an approximately 22-acre site located on the southeastern side of Jersey Avenue between Sandford Street and Mitchell Avenue.
Looks like a Dump next to the train tracks.

But fierce opposition to a proposal for a 27,000 sq ft (2,508 sqm) data center led the council to amend the original proposal, removing language that would have made data centers a permitted use.
A video about the data center’s rejection was posted by Climate Revolution NJ, an environmental organization that helped coordinate the public response to the proposal. It has racked up more than 300,000 likes since being posted on Thursday.

Those with money don’t want these things in their town for a dollar, or any amount.
So why do you think NB should want one? Cause they are desperate? Or are they subhuman compared to the souls in your town?

When the rolling blackouts start, and they will, you will think twice about locating a data center in your town.
Why would NB be against using a piece of crap swath of land and convert it to a useful function. All the while not adding to population density.
Sounds like a win, win, win, win scenario.
Stupid greens and scaremongers fucked over a community.
New Jersey should have as many data centers as possible because we don’t want more people. We have plenty. We need ratables and jobs.
Dark: Again with your reading into comments.
I never said I supported data centers in NJ, or my town or anywhere else. I don’t know why you put words in my mouth.
I made a simple observation that I was surprised NB turned it down. Specifically, because of the city’s fiscal challenges. It was an observation, part of a conversation nothing more.
We are a net importer of electricity in NJ, about 40% of our power and our prices are the 9th highest energy costs in the nation. We actually took offline 3,000 megawatts of power generation in NJ since 2018.
They should not be building data centers here for that reason alone..

Among the hundreds of lies during the Trump show last night, one sticks out as really, really non-sensical. In Trump’s uncouth fashion, he mentions to a roaring applause, that Mamdani is requiring two forms of ID and your Social Security card to shovel, but nothing is required to vote. I don’t see what the two have to do with each other. One is to apply for a temporary job where you will be paid and taxes will be withheld. Of course you need the ID and SS number like any other job.
The two issues should not be conflated. But this is MAGA where sense does not matter and lying is not just ignored, but promoted.
Also, the Biden inflation was as much caused by Trump as it was by Biden as he started with the Covid checks. And the inflation was NOT the worst in U.S. history. But see above.
Chad. True on Pelosi to which I’ve been complaining ad infinitum. What’s your take on the DJT SPACS and Coins?

What do we need big ai data centers?
To build better models.
And once the new LLM is built it will start being that new agent replacing a human. About 1 agent for every 10 humans, by some predictions.
And these agents pay no taxes. But that’s okay according to Sam Altman – afterall, they are cheaper than educating and raising a human for 18 – 24 years “wasting” resources.
And Musk is looking at a society that is on universal aka communist pay.
Where are the guardrails?
*Why, not what
Lib: I don’t disagree on your analysis of the Trump show last night. I do disagree on the Covid checks those were extraordinary times and any President would have done the same.
Biden also sent out a third round of stimulus checks. As for the snow shoveling ID thing you are absolutely right. That said I don’t see what the issue is to have voter ID cards most western countries have them.
Sherrill needs to reverse the green initiatives.
Oyster Creek needs to be recommissioned. Salem needs to be enhanced. Natural gas needs to be sourced if not fracked, although we have limited opportunities.
The Altman comments were chilling. Soylent green is people.
Our former governor bet heavily on wind. It was a loosing bet and there was no plan B.
$1 Billion in taxpayer dollars spent. $600 million for an unused port in southern jersey. Another $250 million to develop an unused monopile manufacturing facility, and lots of other taxpayer funded giveaways for the utilities.
What do we have today? A total of six land based wind turbines in Atlantic City that were built 20 years ago. Not even one wind turbine went up under or former Governor. Anyone here thinks the current Governor is going to do things any better? Electricity prices are up 31% and will continue to rise..
My plan B is to get out…
Lib,
Trump shouldn’t be in that business as President, period. It really doesn’t make sense does it?

“Biden inflation” although frequently miscast, is truthfully related to the Inflation Reduction Act, which was a cynical, awful and a wholly unnecessary bribe to constituents, while handing money to cronies. Really Trump does this in his sleep. But that said, the Biden version was extraordinarily expensive and broadly, damaging to the economy on top of being horribly inefficient and wracked with fraud. So in intent, I don’t think that I make a differentiation between Trump and Biden, but I do think that in result, what Biden did was possibly the worst thing we’ve seen in recent history.
NJ energy….Just wait until NJ residents start getting this month’s energy bills in the mail, it was one of the coldest month’s on record and many will likely see their biggest bill ever, by far.
Chi – “Sherrill needs to reverse the green initiatives. What green? We have less solar than before now, and no wind. She isn’t making the Wind mistake so far, but has all her eggs in the solar basket now.
Community solar, they want to put solar panels on all the housing projects!!! Also unproven agrivoltaics….solar panels on farms!! Hahah…
Sherrils goal is to add 750 megawatts of solar each year. Let’s do some math..
2,857 panels, each rated at 350 watts, to achieve one megawatt of power. So about 2.2 million panels a year need to be made in China, container-load quantities at say $50 a panel…plus needed hardware inverters, mounts and labor? What is that cost? Say bid it out to install those 2.2 million panels on state land perhaps $200 million a year? Sounds ok, but we want battery storage too…Another $200 million a year? So we are going to fund $400 million a year to add 750 megawatts of peak daytime power?
You also need 5,500 acres of land to install those 2.2 million panels. 5,500 acres each year.. Where are they going to get that? Lop down all the state forests? You cannot put solar panels on top of trees..
Also our Govenor is trying the tell the Board of Public Utilities no more prices increases are allowed. That is going to get tossed in court.
We are screwed. How do I know this? I was in PA last weekend they are firing up electric plants there left and right. 16 GW of Natural Gas electrical generation plants coming online soon, all that power will be zipped across the Delaware for a price. There is something like $100 Billion in power generation investments happening right now in Pennsylvania.

Well, I’m not sure what recent is,
But Afghanistan and Iraq were pretty pricey.

Chicago,
Oyster Creek is gone. They completely leveled it. It looks more like Riverton than a former power plant.
Truth be told, it’s hard to pay off major party contributors through nuclear. Much easier to pay them off through bullshit wind and solar contracts.
10:41 – the difference – and a big one, is that Biden’s Inflation Act benefited all Americans while steering away from catastrophic affects of Trump 1.0’s covid affects. Remember the economy was in free fall when T1.0 left.
And T2.0 ‘s pumping of money is exclusively for himself and his boys – at the expense of the next generation and the average American.

I wonder if we could build Indian farms?
The day I was let go, five openings in India for what I do were posted!
China is the undisputed global leader in the solar panel industry, achieving dominance through massive government investment, strategic industrial policy, and unmatched manufacturing scale.
From AI Gemini:
Key Indicators of Success
Market Dominance: China controls over 80% of the global supply chain for solar technology, including roughly 97% of the world’s solar wafers and 85% of final panel assembly.
Cost Leadership: Chinese manufacturing has driven global solar panel prices down by over 80% to 90% since 2010. This has made solar the cheapest source of new electricity in many parts of the world.
Deployment Scale: In 2023 alone, China installed 217 gigawatts (GW) of new solar—more than the entire world installed in 2022. By mid-2025, its total capacity surpassed 1,100 GW.
Technological Innovation: Leading Chinese firms regularly set world records for efficiency. For example, Longi has unveiled solar cells with conversion efficiencies exceeding 24.8%.
Now contrast that with America. Can’t make a truck transmission anymore.
You wanna know the funny part? The recall involves going to the dealership to get the transmission reprogrammed. What is that? Oh, the reprogramming is to tell the display in front of you that your transmission is in trouble and has less than 10k miles before it will blow up.
I shit you not.
Hey dude, this is me, your GM transmission buddy. Just wanna let you know, the upcoming failure is almost here. Hope you have been saving your pennies. Our service department will be sending you a 10 percend discount coupon for your 9k transmission replacement. 😁
GM truck owners have reported widespread issues with 8-speed (8L90/8L45) and 10-speed (10L80/10L90) automatic transmissions, primarily in 2019–present Silverado and Sierra models. Common symptoms include severe shuddering, jerking, delayed acceleration, harsh shifting, and sudden transmission failure. These issues are often caused by torque converter defects and valve body wear.
3B – Sam Altman is about to become irrelevant. OpenAI is headed for an explosive bankruptcy estimates are next year. Their cash burn is expected to be $14 billion this year alone. Where is the revenue? Unsustainable model because of a small amount of conversions from free to paying customers.
Elon was at least smart enough to roll the losses of Grok AI and twitter into Space X which is a cash cow headed for an IPO. He did this because AI subscriptions simply do not generate enough revenue to pay for all the hardware and electricity needed to run it.
Apple was the smart one here. They did not burn tens of billions to the AI gods. They figured out early on the AI hardware buildout alone would require perhaps a subscription model of around $30 a user per month per Apple device to pay for it. So they won by really doing nothing. Now they are licensing Google AI for only $1 Billion a year and are going to use Gemeni to power SIRI.
Kaboom sooner or later unless Microsoft bails them out. I have a feeling they would rather pick up the OpenAI licensing in a bankruptcy court.
Often first adopters pay for the remainder.
“Had a 2023 diesel tahoe bought new with 24,000 miles lock up on the freeway at 75mph towing a trailer. 25′ skid marks. Almost went off the road. On the way to the dealership, locked up again. This time, catastrophic break down… Blew the rear differential apart. Got it towed to the dealership. 0 fluid left in the car when it came off the tow truck. Dealership telling me no repairs and no parts… after speaking with GM multiple times, was told I’d be bumped up to top priority cuz this vehicle runs my business. I asked what that meant with repairs… they said no fix and no eta on parts… Absolutely ridiculous !! It’s 7/20/25.”
“GM has went from cylinder deactivation to permanent engine deactivation and now transmission deactivation. We’ve never saved so much fuel. Very effective.
I guess we now how they turned those great profits in 2024.”
“Biggest reason I was done with GM products, they don’t upgrade faulty parts. They just replace with the same faulty parts until the warranty period expires.”

If you have a 10-Speed General Motors or “Allison” (It’s not an Allison, they paid to license the brand name) transmission, you likely know about the major recall that was issued over the rear axle locking up at high rates of speed; a highly dangerous problem. Can you imagine towing a fifth wheel and the rear axle locking up? You don’t have to, because here’s a video:
They have publicly stated that the best they can do is provide a software update that monitors pressure and puts the vehicle into a “failsafe mode” before the rear axle can lock up. This does not fix the problem, it simply masks the symptom with limp-mode.
Worst of all, the “updated valve body” they claim to be releasing also does not appear to fix the problem. How do we know? We sourced one from an insider and disassembled it, only to find nominal changes that did not directly impact the problem.
Phoenix – If Trump had a tariff on what Lib does well he might still have a job.
Labor arbitrage exists because well not enough tarrifs for one. U.S. Section 301 duties, has been used to force firms to abandon cheaper labor markets. But not nearly enough it’s an arduous process and guess what we still import all our solar panels from Asia. All that talk about US Solar manufacturing? Well congress had to flood them with money under the Inflation Reduction Act just to keep what little we have left.
Congress can protect jobs they choose not to because they are bought and paid for.

If you paddle far enough into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in Minnesota, the noise of the modern world falls away. In its place, you hear the call of a loon, the slap of a beaver’s tail and a silence that has remained unchanged since the glaciers receded.
For those of us who hunt, fish and love the outdoors, the Boundary Waters is 1.1 million acres of the most pristine backcountry on the planet — the kind of place where you drink water straight from the lake and track white-tailed deer through woods that have never known a saw.
But in Washington, the Senate this week is expected to vote on a resolution that would pave the way for a Chilean conglomerate to turn much of this paradise into an industrial zone. The resolution proposes an unprecedented use of the Congressional Review Act (CRA) that would dismantle the last remaining safeguards against a massive mining project in the wilderness’s headwaters.

Phoenix towing with a Tahoe at 75 mph for his business? What was the load size? That ain’t a real truck, it does not have great towing capacity. He should have been driving an F-150…14,000 pounds towing capacity vs about 8,600 for a Tahoe.

When the “Biden crime family” stuff was all the rage among R’s, I said we’d know that the accusations were BS if the R’s and the DOJ lost all interest in investigating the Biden’s after Trump won.
Still early in Trump’s term, but so far the “all BS” bet is winning.

Phoenix – Tahoe is a SUV for housewives around here. I don’t think I have ever seen a landscaper or anyone in construction driving one or towing with one.
Agreed.
Have seen it, but mostly for towing a boat or small camper. But that trans is in many other GM products, and is grenading at an alarming rate.
Did the Democrats refuse the stand for the US Hockey team?
Why do we even allow US athletes to compete in international events?
All that tourism money is going to foreign countries!
US athletes should be required to only compete in the US.
We need to protect the jobs of AMERICAN zamboni drivers!
Got ’em back with his own words. IRA was badass.
Colonel Smyth’s speech marked him for attention from the IRA. He subsequently returned to Cork and took lodgings at the Cork & County Club, an Anglo-Irish social club. On the evening of 17 July 1920 he was in the smoking room when a six-man IRA team led by Dan “Sandow” O’Donovan entered and allegedly said to him, “Colonel, were not your orders to shoot on sight? Well you are in sight now, so prepare.” Colonel Smyth jumped to his feet before being riddled with bullets. Despite being shot twice in the head, once through the heart and twice through the chest, the Colonel staggered to the passage where he dropped dead. He was 34 years old.[10][11]

Penny smart, pound foolish. 250k down the drain, only to result in death.
If it had been caught early, extracting Deamonte’s damaged tooth could have cost $80. The bill for two weeks of his care at Maryland’s Children’s Hospital was between $200,000 and $250,000, reports Otto.
Dark Phoenix,
My wife has German public health insurance. It covers dental at a very minimal level. She bought an extra private dental insurance policy. And if you look at people‘s teeth in the UK I‘d say the NHS doesn‘t cover dental at all. People over there have terrible teeth.
Collins took out the whole British secret service in Dublin. They never saw it coming. Ruthless when he had to be. Almost got it all until he was killed by his own. Civil War will do that.
Had my daughter’s wisdom teeth removed. Anesthesia needs to be covered by general insurance, while the actual removal is covered by dental insurance.
Two separate bills.
Anesthesia bill has several items – and it is day light robbery:
“First 15 minutes” – $350
“follow up 15 minutes” – $1150
etc.
(totally meaningless)
And the anesthesia bill for the 1 hour procedure is altogether $3000.
And if we elect to pay out of pocket, the dentist office said we could pay $1000 so it won’t go through insurance.
If this isn’t fraud, nothing is.
Where is Gary to correct my grammar?
Ha ai ha. What a future!

12:24, I read that WSJ “China Maxxing” article yesterday and laughed. I married into a Chinese family for nearly 30 years. These people’s fantasies of Chinese are so far from reality. Imagine if some people decided to eat Taco Bell, drink Mexican Coke, and mow their own lawn wearing a sombrero, and called it Mexico Maxxing. The article kept mentioning boiling apples and drinking warm water. These people probably talk about their chi.
There was one lady pictured in the article- “Noë Bryant spent 41 years identifying as African American. This year, she became Chinese.” If she was among real Chinese people and in an actual Chinese family, they’d be telling her to lose weight, asking her why she’s so ugly, her skin so dark, why is she eating noodles when she’s so fat, why didn’t she get straight A’s in school, why didn’t she get into an Ivy League school? If she was trying to date their Chinese son, all the same questions, she’d be totally shunned, and in addition they’d be warning the son about how ugly and dark and fat and dumb their children would turn out to be. ChinaMax that! (Zero and first gen Chinese are typically highly racist btw, but I guess ChatGPT didn’t tell her about that).
Issue is racism, not law enforcement.

Had my daughter’s wisdom teeth removed. Anesthesia needs to be covered by general insurance, while the actual removal is covered by dental insurance.
I got two of my wisdom teeth removed in my mid-twenties. Didn’t have dental ins at the time.
Doc offered to put me under, or go with local anathesia.
I asked “how much”?
Went with the local. :)
No pain at all.
I remember watching the dentist and thinking “he looks like he’s trying to remove the bolts from a rusty muffler”.
I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed when I was in the army. I think I was around 24. Still remember the crunching sound as the teeth were broke up. Tried to go in to work the next day. Went back home immediately as I was in bad pain.
Had two of my wisdom teeth pulled, went with local. As he was working in there he said “oops, never seen that before”. Not something you want to hear at the dentist. Apparently my roots did a U-turn at the jaw line and started growing back up like a hook. Said it was one of his more difficult extractions, but the pain wasn’t that bad. Was fine the next day.
There are a few people in your life who you don’t want to say “oops”. Your lawyer, your accountant, your barber, and your dentist.
About 35 years ago my high school friends created a fantasy NBA league. Several asians in the league, and one made it apparent after the fifth drafted player that they were going for an all white team. The guy’s last name was Wu. My other friend said out loud “what the hell are you the Wu Wux Wan?” We had to stop the draft for about 10 minutes to compose ourselves. Hunter High School humor.

“I’m not trying to impress you,” Newsom said in the video while chatting with Atlanta mayor Andre Dickens in front of a large crowd over the weekend, “I’m just trying to impress upon you, ‘I’m like you. I’m not better than you.’ I’m a 960 SAT guy.”
Gavin Newsom
If Newsom is 960, what is Trump and Biden?
Other than both being senile, corrupt, comprimised, and infected, that is.

And you frightened them damn natives to the marrow!
Chgo: The Newsom thing is no surprise, it’s the patronizing way they treat Black people. They are the big racists, but they are sweet about it.

You forgot the ‘train to nowhere’ boondoggle. Sold to voters as a high speed rail connection between SFO/LAX for $30B and complete by 2020; now $100B+ to connect Merced and Bakersfield. And the idiot PantLoad says “The only thing I dislike about Newsom is his choice of women”.
Small: Yep! That’s a massive screw up on his part. It must be because of his low SAT scores. The Dems are not the rational, competent, productive alternative to the Republicans, at least not the ones that are polling high to be next President.

don’t get to mix and match civil and criminal matters”
Due process is not a mix and match. It applys across the board . The fact that ICE didnt follow the rules, ended up in them having to pull him back from ElSalvador.
Oh Judge didnt do his job, Congress needs to do X is BS.
ICE is oversteping and is ignoring Due Process, need to make those numbers. The worrying part of this is that no matter what a Bad Hombre he turns out to be, if he is not afforded Due process, then we have a serious constitutional problem.
I see a lot of people in here wrap themselves in the conststiution, but when it comes to defending it. If its not the 2nd they dont want to know. When Bush trampled all over teh 4th with the Patriot Act its all “what about those Freedom Fries!
So I suppose its; “who cares about Due Process, hes brown so it doesnt count. It would never apply to me!”
The fact that the idiots that ICE recruits are given legal advice on how to not follow the constitution should say it all.

am hyper focused on the Dems because they present themselves as the the Republicans.
And thats why I can never take you seriousley. As a so called “independant” you never address how the GOP need to give us an “adult, rational alternative to Trump” and why its solely down to the Dems to do that.

House Republican leaders formulated the bill Trump supports to preempt a Democratic version. The GOP alternative would let lawmakers hold stock they already own and reinvest dividends. It would also let spouses and other family members trade on behalf of lawmakers. The Democratic plan prohibits members and their immediate families from owning individual stocks unless the spouse trades in connection with their primary employment. It would also apply to the president.

Cuts began on Friday when Verizon, based in Basking Ridge, cut 1,319 employees. Those reductions were initially announced in November 2025.
More layoffs were announced in February, according to the state’s WARN notice archive, which includes retail giants such as Target, Walmart, Eddie Bauer, and more.
Target announced a reduction of 107 employees in its locations in Burlington, Gloucester, Middlesex, and Monmouth counties. The layoffs will take effect on May 17.
Walmart is also cutting 100 employees in Hoboken, effective May 1.
Eddie Bauer is laying off 58 employees from locations in Bergen, Morris, Camden, Monmouth, and Somerset counties.
One of the largest cuts is coming from Bristol Myers Squibb in Lawrence Township, which announced 247 employees to be laid off spread out throughout the year.
Other large cuts include Arrow Fastener of Saddle Brook to lay off 140 employees; Cigna Evernorth Services of Morris Plains to lay off 134 employees; Scudetto Logistics of Trenton to lay off 120 employees; JPMorgan Chase of Jersey City to lay off 120 employees; and AT&T in Bedminster to layoff 75 employees.
Where is the new thread? This is bullshit.
The new thread of life: leaving America
In its 250th year, is America, land of immigration, becoming a country of emigration? Last year the U.S.
experienced something that hasn’t definitively occurred since the Great Depression: More people moved out than moved in. The Trump administration has hailed the exodus — negative net migration — as the fulfillment of its promise to ramp up deportations and restrict new visas. Beneath the stormy optics of that immigration crackdown, however, lies a less-noticed reversal: America’s own citizens are leaving in record numbers, replanting themselves and their families in lands they find more affordable and safe. Since the Eisenhower administration, the U.S. hasn’t collected comprehensive statistics on the number of citizens leaving. Yet data on residence permits, foreign home purchases, student enrollments and other metrics from more than 50 countries show that Americans are voting with their feet to an unprecedented degree. A millions-strong diaspora is studying, telecommuting and retiring overseas. The new American dream, for some of its citizens, is to no longer live there. In the cobblestoned streets of Lisbon, so many Americans are snapping up apartments that the newest arrivals complain they mostly hear their own language — not Portuguese. One of every 15 residents in Dublin’s trendy Grand Canal Dock district was born in the U.S., according to realtors, higher than the percentage of Americans born in Ireland during the 19th-century influx following the Potato Famine. In Bali, Colombia and Thailand, the strains of housing American remote workers paid in dollars have inspired locals to mount protests against a wave of gentrification. More than 100,000 young students are enrolled abroad for a more affordable university degree. In nursing homes mushrooming across the Mexican border, elderly Americans are turning up for low-cost care. […] The U.S. experienced net negative migration — an estimated loss of some 150,000 people — in 2025, and the outflow will likely increase in 2026, according to calculations by the Brookings Institution, a public-policy think tank. The number could be larger or smaller because official U.S. data doesn’t yet fully capture the number of people leaving,

The new thread of life: leaving America
Rent: before you start a reflexive flagellation of the U.S., from the same article.
Says it all.
The bargain: The U.S. has larger salaries, mobile talent and millions of citizens craving a better life. Europe needs such workers—and their income—to prop up a pension system so top-heavy that French retirees now outearn working age adults, according to the Luxembourg Income Study, a research agency. European salaries are constrained by high taxes and low growth. Retailers, restaurants and real-estate agents want foreign clientele.
