You're obviously not talking about direct cost, Mean house price: London: $753,793 USD USA: $369,147 USD Average rent per month: London: $2,992 USD USA: $1,699 USD Or being cramped into small spaces, Average home size: London: 705 sq ft. USA: 1,800 sq ft. Or homelessness, Estimated homeless population (% of total population): London: 2% USA: 0.2% Perhaps you are referring to comments on HN? Annoying comments about housing posted on Hacker News: London: Not seen USA: Way too many
