Assuming your spouse can find a job or doesn't need/want to work...
Rent out your home. Furnished. Rent something where you're going. Furnished. Send your kids to the local public school. If you can't take your car, buy something where you're going for $5000, used.
Many people over-think this kind of thing, and are far too attached to personal possessions.
The US justice system is no cakewalk either - people are often jailed on suspicion of a crime and kept in jail until they agree to a plea bargain. And the US has the death penalty, which normal countries like Canada, Australia, and the UK dumped in the 1960s.
No -- truth and justice are not the American way, period. People who aren't part of the power structure get railroaded into plea bargains. People who are, get off free. He's being charged because he'll never see a US courtroom -- he'll live out his life in Germany.
Montreal has relatively cheap housing, interesting people, good universities (McGill), and most importantly, doesn't only speak English. It's nice to be away from Anglophone paranoia and media when I visit there.
The US generally doesn't extradite its citizens, and even citizen war criminals. It's unlikely he'll be extradited either -- worst case, he'll be stuck in Germany.
March 2018 completed sales are likely sales where the process was started in December or January. Before the markets took a swan-dive in February and flatlined, and before 30 year rates hit 4.5%. 5-6% rates (raising interest paid about 1.5x from a year ago) will be fun.
One would argue that those jobs are a way of taking care of the less fortunate without calling it "welfare." As opposed to the US way, where older employees are tossed out with the trash:(
The anthropology professor could have got his/her pretty little lily-clean hands dirty and fixed the shelf him/herself. Just because you're in academia doesn't mean you're not allowed to work with your hands.
Considering the corporate taxes and mining/mineral taxes would be going to California (assuming an independent California), this doesn't invalidate the argument.
$400 billion is $10,000 per person per year. At current bond rates, service cost is under $400 per person per year. Not a big deal, especially since some of the debt is actually held by CA residents (directly or indirectly).
But yeah, if money weren't funneled away from CA to support less solvent states (by way of DC), CA would be in even better shape.
California pays more in Federal tax per resident than it gets back. If California were its own country, it would actually have a more balanced budget, not less balanced.
I suspect most of this rise came before this winter's jump in rates. Personally, I hope 30 year rates break 5% this year -- should unwind housing bubbles in many parts of the USA.
$25,000 isn't 20% of $500,000, closer to 5%. Anyway, sale costs are determined more by mortgage rates, which are going up (thanks, Fed). This will likely eat into developers' profits -- oh well, can't say I feel sorry for the likes of Lennar and KB Homes.
Cloud-recording app on your phone, set it to record before approaching the pigsty. Evidence of what you've said or not in case on of the border pigs needs more Xanax that day.

Then move to Switzerland, not the USA. They basically have the US system, except that it works and premiums are reasonable.

Get a job where you can be surrounded by 20-somethings into your 30s and 40s. e.g. teaching, some forms of engineering, research, etc.

Who'd know unless you asked?

Who would know if he didn't scream for help?

Correction: $10,000 per person TOTAL, $400 per person per year.

Oh, but it will. California goes *phut* every 10-15 years...

There is -- pumped-storage hydroelectric power.

I read that as "enslaved" at first. Which is a good metaphor for the cloud: your data, held hostage on someone else's computer.
That's what was said 100 years ago when audio movie projectors were invented and 50 years ago when VCRs were invented. I'll believe it when I see it.
Not giving personal data to MS via OneDrive? No great loss!
Why be a part of adding to strife worldwide, though?
