Your points are all very handwavy, but to answer. There are good public schools in my district.

The state is currently building a huge new high school a block from me to cover upcoming demand.

I’ve gotten a bed whenever I’ve needed one in hospital. Perhaps that one is not even everywhere and can tend to be an issue in rural areas, but not where I live specifically.

Public transport here is good. It’s congested, sure, but nowhere near as bad as other cities I’ve lived in. The state is currently building several new transit lines.

In terms of tax, I pay roughly the same overall as my US peers. I do earn a bit less, but that’s because it’s AUD.

I don’t even know what to make of your comment about old people. That sounds completely weird. I certainly don’t know any of my older (70+) friends who do that because there are lots of social programs and activities in my local area.
