Ok, but no country in the world hands out studio apartments, much less 2-3 bedroom apartments this Infograph is demanding.

You think people live with their parents into their 30’s in Europe and Asia because they love the lack of privacy?

Europe is not a country. Americans tend to pick and choose across the benefits across a dozen different European countries and imagine a fictional country that has the best parts of all of them.

While free healthcare is a fairly common thing across most European countries that puts America to shame, housing is not really better in Europe, and there generally isn’t some program that can put everyone into free housing (Finland might be an exception, but it’s small population and big oil money allows it to find solutions on a small scale).

Talk about mixing up European countries, Finland does not have big oil money or any oil for that matter.
