That is kind of the thing. Americans earn extremely well. So when Americans move to southern Europe, they are either retired or have a great remote job. With cheap houses in the rural parts of those countries and access to public health care, you can actually have a pretty chill lifestyle.
That is to say: Capitalism is great for capitalists.
I do wonder how much this is about moving from urban spaces to rural spaces as opposed to geographic discrepencies.
It depends, but in poor cities like Sevilla the suburbs have some decent apartments or houses for basically a good(like less then $100k) annual US salary. Those will have light rail access, so living car free is still possible.
