I don't know about that "4 times better" (how do you measure that, diminishing returns, etc).
But your average house in the US is for sure more comfortable than your average house in France.

I'm visiting my sister in London right now. She lives in a 750 sqft two bedroom apartment. Sure, it's smaller than my 1700 ft house back in the US, but she seems fairly comfortable.
- MomoXenosaga 4y agoYes I know plenty of people who rather live in the big city with all its amenities and interesting people than in a giant house in suburbia. There is a reason why housing prices are so high for the Amsterdam's and New York's of this world.

- fbdab103 4y agoIt does not typically get that warm in France. Quickly finding an annual weather calendar for Paris, the seasonal high is 78 F (26 C), one month of the year.
- Dylan16807 4y agoThat's just the average, and it's hard to stop it from being warmer inside. A quarter of days are at least 5 degrees hotter and that's well into too hot. If it was properly unimportant then the majority of stores and offices wouldn't have it.
