Citation? It doesn't stand to reason given that most people live and work in cities, not in rural areas, especially in Europe [1].

- pclmulqdq 2y agoMost people live and work in cities, but most city buildings house far more than one person.
- danans 2y agoI'm including suburbs and towns in my definition of "cities", meaning urban settlements. I'd like to see some quantitative data either way.
- wongarsu 2y agoI'd wager that even under that definition most city houses in Europe house more than one family. At least in continental Europe, I am not so sure about Britain. But most of Europe doesn't have extensive single family home suburbs in the way the US has.
