And it's not just housing, again - I never have to worry about my health, and even stuff such as Internet is so much less expensive than in the US (I pay 30EUR - ~35USD for a VDSL unlimited internet connection with high bandwidth + TV with 300 channels - don't use it, but still + a landline that can call any mobile or landline in the EU or in the US for free, for example; I imagine such a package would cost quite a bit more in the US).
