To ask where I can move that won't have depressing random nutcases and law-exempt criminal youth around every corner

[Fragmentedbrain]

I know it's nice to have a social safety net and I want that but we don't have it now it's just unfunded chaos and the press moaning about public sector workers.

So, Switzerland? Singapore? Where is feasible (in my forties so recognise that I'd need to make a damn good case for myself). Somewhere boring and hardworking with rules and clean streets and a health service you can access and no toleration for the stuff that's everywhere in the UK now.

I am prepared for the answer to be hard cheese you left it too late and now just need to stay indoors as much as poss until the sweet release of death.

Er really?

Wherever you go there’ll be issues
Why let it worry you

If you can afford it I would recommend Switzerland. It has been a couple of decades since I lived there but I would go back in a heartbeat if I had the money. Yes it’s a very reserved country and not the life and soul but it’s clean and very civilised (for the most part). And of course beautiful.

Frankly all suggestions are pointless if the OP won't list her skills and financial position.

We are Swiss twins 😊😊 I love it too.

Just move to a better area. Still cheaper than moving abroad. My street is clean (because we don't litter, and people keep the area round their own house clean). It is quiet and friendly with no antisocial behaviour. Yes, it's expensive, but I bet it's cheaper than Switzerland.

I think you are being over dramatic. Plenty of small towns and villages in the UK would meet your requirements OP.

I've lived in a rural village for 14 years. So far no obvious crime, and the only neighbour dispute has been two old ladies making snide comments at each other over a gate.

The local youth has contented itself with putting a traffic cone on the village hall roof, the odd bit of graffiti and overturning the grit bin, which has now been concreted down.

We have a gp where an appt is normally within a week, and an NHS dentist (although not sure if they are accepting new patients). I go for a run after dark in spring & autumn, most weeks without issue.

We have a bunch of volunteers who run a youth club and assorted events, look after the allotments and sort any fly tipping plus a litter pick twice a year. A community association that raises funds, nags the council about pot holes and ensures road signs are clear.

I read your OP and though Abu Dhabi. Not for me but people I know there rave about the safety aspect being a big draw.

Don't live in a city.

If Switzerland is off the cards due to money, skills, language (they don’t speak English the way Scandi countries do) what about somewhere in Devon or Dorset? Research the best towns and crime rates in those counties as they are worth thinking about.

It would help to know your budget and lifestyle.

Norway is often voted best place to live. There are some areas I’ve seen on TV that are absolutely stunning but I don’t know about cities and towns.

Yanbu if you've had awful experiences OP. And the safety net is in tatters in the UK in many ways.

Luxembourg is good. There is also an encouraging tax deal at the moment for new arriving expats,

That's interesting, with the ageing population issues in the West and the increased need for young skilled workers I think we will see more countries doing similar.

Do you happen to be a millionaire?

If so, Monaco with a holiday home in Switzerland? That’s what my FIL does. You don’t need any special skills or to speak the language if you are very rich. Money talks everywhere.

You can't just stay "in my area" 24/7 though can you.

I said Toronto is very safe city did I not? My point was that even safe places can still have their problems, if that was not clear.

Richard Tice lives there and that is enough argument not to go there, never mind the laws regarding same sex relationships.

New Zealand would be where I’d be headed. Auckland.

I want to live somewhere clean and safe with friendly people who aren't intrusive, riddled with antisocial behaviour or scummy racists. (Im not a person of colour by the by, I have recently however had a few run ins with local idiots using vile language towards people of colour. Context incase anybody thought I was personally experiencing racism, Im not, I am concerned that I might punch a local tosser who speaks loudly around a lovely mum who is Muslim about how Tommy Robinson is right about everything but besides making me worried that I’ll one day get arrested, Im good!)
Anyhoo. Ideally somewhere scenic, lots of walks and nice cafes, nice restaurants and lots of places for children to explore, safely.
But I also have about twenty quid to my name and I’m terrifically under qualified and lack skills to make any serious life changing money.
That all said, I took my DC to Blackpool last year and one of my beautiful, innocent children said, “you must need to be Elon Musk to afford a house here” and he truly meant it. To him, it was absolutely magical. I suppose everywhere is what you can make of it.

But if any of those MNs earning a billion pound an hour, uses one organic chicken to feed 30 people and who aren't planning on leaving their 6’4 twin sons their money because they’re already too wealthy, if you fancy sending my family to Auckland, my inbox is always open.

Much as I love my home country, I don't think OP would cope terribly well with NZ. We do have at least our share of homeless with addiction and behavioural issues, people are forever bemoaning how the justice system is too lenient, and lamenting that social and racial issues are taken into account when sentencing. Tagging is definitely an issue. Less litter though.

And definitely our share of scummy racists, sadly.

It's a Muslim country. What would you expect? For them to legally allow something their religion sees a major sin?

I think saying "one person we dislike lives there so don't go" is a bit childish. He's a man who takes his job as an MP very seriously.

I was 20. Those things were definitely a thing 30 years ago.

You should move to Malmö. Except they probably wouldn’t let you in.

Was just about to say the same. Love where I live - Don’t think twice about walking home from town at night, streets aren’t noticeably filthy lots of green space and people are generally very polite & civilised.

I am Singaporean and private healthcare in london is cheaper for me to access than the private healfhcare in singapore which all the foreigners have to use.

What, Liverpool? Do you have to be in a city? We have none of what you have written in your OP - haven’t seen an antisocial lout for a long time and our NHS is outstanding (by NHS standards of course).
