Funny, if it wasn't for my family and my friends, I'd consider moving to the US.

What is “getting to the point in North America”??

I don't know what to do with the chickens. But the dog is easy to bring.

My dog has 6 acres to run right now... I can't imagine keeping this tasmanian devil in an apartment...

Check with the Munich colleagues, but some of them will live in houses. They're unlikely to have 2½ hectares though.

As well as all apartment-vs-house compromises you'd have anywhere in the US (cost, noise, travel time to work etc), moving to a new country and living at the edge of a town or in a small village can feel more isolated, if you don't speak the language.
