  In The Netherlands, more than 90% of all homes is heated using natural gas. Part of that is historical, but also cooking on natural gas was for a long time the best solution. So if you run natural gas to every home anyhow, there is little reason to have a separate hot water distribution system.

  Of course, in Germany most houses have central heating and central hot water production in a room in the basement. A lot of them even have large oil tanks which could be removed for additional space. There are a few old Buildings from the 50ies, which still have gas heating in the appartments, but they are relatively rare.

  We don't, no. Some older (and often very large) buildings here in Belgium do, but most apartments have individual gas heaters. Some very new constructions rely on district heating, but that's only feasible if there's a source of waste heat nearby (some kind of factory, usually). I doubt we have more than 50 such constructions in the entire country.
