Dear all, I’m a 35-year-old woman currently based in Zürich. I work remotely, so I have the flexibility to relocate anywhere in Switzerland. I moved here in January and initially felt certain about staying in Zürich, but the housing situation has made me reconsider. I’m not sure I want to keep paying such high rent if I could find something more affordable elsewhere. There are, of course, many advantages to living in Zürich: as I’m only learning German, I find it easy to get by in English as it’s a large, multicultural city; and I really enjoy its atmosphere. I definitely see myself as a city person and like being out and about. However, the rental market is why I’m considering a move to Basel in the hope of finding a place more easily. I understand taxes are higher there, but rents are generally lower and availability seems better. In your opinion, what are the main pros and cons of making this move? Is there anything important I should take into account before deciding? Vielen Dank! submitted by /u/BettyNon
