That is because those countries implemented more socialist policies. All it does it drives the price of everything up. |
While that might be partly true (a very small part), there is definitely a space problem in Europe (and some Asian countries like Japan.) Even in countries/city-states with freer markets than the U.S (like Switzerland, Hong Kong, and Singapore) housing prices are much higher than the U.S/U.S cities. One of the great things about the U.S is the amount of space and resources we have with respect to the population size. It shows with our sprawling cities, and low population densities.
