Uhh, you know you literally started this comment thread by saying the living area wasn't enough, and then justifying it by comparing your own situation right? And my (and others) responses were just pointing out that your situation wasn't normal, yeah?

So how about next time you apply a little of your own logic to yourself before posting, and maybe reconsider whether your contribution will add anything worthwhile to the conversation?

I don't understand the appeal of having so much indoor space. It's just extra cost to build, extra cost to run (heating & cooling), more space to clean and it cuts down your outside space, especially if you're in a city.

My current place is 93m2 and that's plenty for the two of us. Honestly I don't understand why anyone would need anymore than 50m2 per person.

Nothing to do with ancient history. The correlation is simply that they have similar Government systems

All of the top placed countries are social democracies that have strong social safety nets & health systems (which increase life expectancy), well-funded education systems, high degrees of economic freedom (which boosts total GDP) and highly progressive tax & payment systems (which reduce inequality and boost low and median incomes)
