You're missing the point that London doesn't have any quality or organic food. The UK just eats its dead, in the form of things like Soylent Green and Huel, but disguised by marketing (adverts being the only other thing the UK can produce now).

Also,
- which part of the US?
- how much does a latte, beer, hamburger, steak dinner cost there?

but I’d genuinely want to double it, to move to the US based on my time there last week.
Have you looked at what you'd get paid? Most good jobs seem at least double, even factoring in insurance, and tax. I think what's happenend is that the lower paid jobs have now increased.

I've not been for a few years but I remember it being massively variable depending on where you are.

I don’t know how families on average income make it work. It’s terrible. :-(
They can’t. They move towns, take out multiple credit cards, work 5 jobs between 2 parents, and they live knowing they’re one emergency hospital stay away from financial ruin.

I hate… how expensive the US has become. Well no that’s not quite true - I’m ambivalent about the absolutes and more accurately I hate the massive wealth inequality.
I’m currently earning a decent living, but I’d genuinely want to double it, to move to the US based on my time there last week. And it hasn’t always been this way - I’ve visited plenty of times in the past.
Nice restaurants (not Michelin Star) are extortionate. Quality, organic food is so expensive. Attractions such as museums and - specifically this time - Disneyland - are an exercise in gouging as much as possible from the punter.
London cannot hold a torch to it.
