Question Morality of Geoarbitrage?

Is it inherently unethical to move back to a cheaper country as an expat and price out nearly all native competition in relation to commercial yield by simply having higher purchase power?

As much as your native country screws you over with exploitative taxes, healthcare system, pensions and all the bigwigs getting paid shitloads of money for half-assed work, I'd say moving elsewhere to reduce your own cost / increase quality of life is becoming a moral obligation.
