Lots of pp talking about US and tbh I would never want to raise my DCs there. Too much gun ownership and gun crime and school shootings. They don't have a genuine health or welfare state which is fine if everyone is well and employed but not if someone becomes ill.
So let's talk about North of England
It's rainier and cold sometimes in England - we do get variations in weather which is why it's our favourite topic 
But even then compared to other countries our weather is relatively mild - never as cold as Canada and never as hot as some parts of US.
Housing tends to be smaller in England compared to what you might afford in some parts of US but we do have lovely houses 😁 and North England is cheaper on the whole for housing
We're a smaller country but not far from Europe so you can still travel!
Free education until 18, NHS and a good welfare state, even if people argue it's changing due to politics it's not changing that much !! (I work in this area) university is expensive - is loans taken out- but it's not expensive like it is in US. Similar careers May pay slightly less than US but benefits are far better, national legislation means there is more inbuilt job security for those in posts more than 2 years , more annual leave sick pay and slightly better conditions eights such as Working time directive (doesn't apply to everyone but is generally a better situation than US).
England is fairly multicultural, more so in some places than others. So in the whole most people are more inclusive and accepting.
