I'm aware that like so many, I put "value of experience" to one side, or rather traded it in for the experience of comfort and security.
From what I know about your life it seems to me you’ve enjoyed both.

What do we want to hear from a local councillor: "We have good infrastructure" or "Wow! We sure had a blast, didn't we?"

As the economies equalize America’s buying power will decline and when America’s buying power declines China will be less inclined to loan money since it won’t be cycled back into their economy through American purchase of their exports. That’s when China will be incentivized to take back what is rightfully hers. Next thing you know America is the new Taiwan with the new SARS to go with it.

for example, the climate change problem, most people might say "yeah I want investments into that", but when it comes down to paying 2-3 times as much for your electricity bill in the short term...

France tried the gas tax (which I think in theory is totally responsible) and riots followed

It was a regressive tax though. Fuel should be nationalized and distributed equally without consideration of wealth.
