And it's very easy to blame the international people who are moving and happy to pay a premium for their housing for the escalating cost in that area.
So, you know, you have seen a backlash here.
In Ponta do Sul, rents rose 30% in just one year.
I was practically pushed out of the neighborhood where I used to live.
And now I feel pushed out of Lisbon itself.
As if the city were rejecting me.
Drew likes the cobblestone streets, I don't know if you noticed.
But one other very big kind of takeaway from this reporting that I think came through when we were speaking to dozens of people who've moved not just to Europe, but to other places where a lot of Americans are going, Mexico, Southeast Asia, is that...
There are a lot more that want to do this.
And there is now a pipeline of people that have made this move.
How long they're able to last and whether this is some kind of historically very significant flow is yet to be determined.
At the moment, it's just showing up in the data.
And so the next few years will be decisive when we're trying to figure out whether this is one of those moments where perhaps the idea of America as a country of immigration starts to shift towards the idea of maybe something more nuanced.
The Americans are definitely coming, and not just for holiday.
Places that you've read about a little bit, like Portugal, like Italy, but it's also happening in places that you wouldn't perhaps know.
Countries are very, very interested in attracting Americans because they bring capital with them and they bring know-how.
The government hasn't kept accurate data on that since around about the Eisenhower administration.
What we needed to do was basically look at the other end of the telescope.
So instead of looking to the U.S.
government, go to every country, find the data, pull the data to try and create a picture of how many Americans were actually moving abroad.
