I can’t speak to the specific living standards of a bottom half European but I can say I have visited probably a dozen major cities of Europe and never seen a single person living in a tent on the street. In at least half of those cities I have ventured well outside the “tourist” areas.
Meanwhile, I can’t go anywhere in my American city without encountering people living in conditions worse than the average person in a third world country.
- seec 1y agoClearly you havent visited Paris, especially the northern part. Tent people are everywhere and it used to be more at the periphery but nowadays even inside the city around popular metro stations, they are right there. All this tells me that you have rose tinted glass and would rather ignore reality. Sure, there are plenty of things the EU does better than the US but I seriously doubt the bottom part of the population is living significantly better...
