What about norway indeed?
"Rates of start-up creation here are among the highest in the developed world, and Norway has more entrepreneurs per capita than the United States, according to the latest report by the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, a Boston-based research consortium. A 2010 study released by the U.S. Small Business Administration reported a similar result: Although America remains near the top of the world in terms of entrepreneurial aspirations -- that is, the percentage of people who want to start new things—in terms of actual start-up activity, our country has fallen behind not just Norway but also Canada, Denmark, and Switzerland."

- RestlessMind 4y agoHmm interesting. I checked up two other sources[0,1] and those ones have US / UK / Israel / Canada / Australia etc above Norway when it comes to Startup environment. So I still don't see enough evidence for the original point (healthcare and cheap housing being essential). A lot of those countries (esp. UK / AU / Canada) apparently have a housing situation far worse than the US. And yet, they are thriving compared to other countries. Btw, I will also admit that France is ranking much better per those sources. So now it seems evidence for "cheap housing being essential" is all over the place?
