The United States. I would never want to live in Europe especially since the houses there are too small and expensive.
Cities - Both are nice.
Weather - North America- more "diversity".
People - Either
Sports - Either
Economy - North America
Scenery - North America
Education -Don't know
Nightlife - Probably Europe but I'm not a partying person so I don't care.

All houses in Europe are not small. I have a large 3 bedroom, 2 bath house on 1/3 acre. They only seem to be expensive to you because you are converting the price to $.

So you have a "big house", good for you. You're not most people though. Statisticsally speaking, houses in Europe are smaller than in the US, Australia and in NZ, etc. But houses in Europe don't "seem" expensive, they ARE expensive, just like gas.
I've even seen the houses with my own two eyes on Street Viewer and they ARE much smaller and so are the yards. House Hunters is another proof.
Americans have the biggest houses at 2300 sq ft.
Denmark: 1475 sq ft.
France: 1216 sq ft.
Spain: 1044 sq ft.
Ireland: 947 sq ft.
Britains have the smallest at 818 sq ft.
I imagine people in places like Hong Kong and Japan, etc have smaller houses but I couldn't find any information about them.
Also, a lot of people in Europe live in cramped apartment styled "homes" with tiny yards and drive ways, I would never want to live a place like that.

I think Australia has the largest newly built houses and the UK has the smallest, the US is second after Australia.

There are plenty of big houses where I live, most are Victorian. Guess you didn't look up my street. You were probably looking at houses in the cities.

I personally would rather live in Europe than many parts
of the U.S.. U.S. has too many hoods and problems with
high unemployment, since it gave much of it's
industry away to China.

im surprised that ireland is so low down , houses tend to be large in this country , too large , personally im not a fan of big houses , i like the uk when it comes to houses , plenty of charechter and charm , especially in english villages
shabbiest houses ive ever seen are in new zealand
Cities - europe = bar new york , americas cities are not in the same league as london , paris , berlin , rome or barcelona
Weather - North america
People - north america = a younger culture which changes more quickly
Sports - europe = i dont care for any american sports
Economy - North America = much more dynamic and innovative
Scenery - tie
Education - north america if your well off , europe if your not
Nightlife = europe = europe is the home of clubbing if thats your thing , americans tend to have house parties
New houses (apartments included) used to be bigger in Norway 25 years ago. The average size was 188 m2 in 1987. Now it is down to 119 m2. The cheapest detached house in Oslo (157 m2) costs around $545,000 but that is a crappy one (needs renovation, like a new bathroom and kitchen, so the price is more like $600,000).

I don't trust those figures. I found figures stating that the average house in Britain is 1100feet and ireland 1200feet. The houses in Ireland and the UK aren't that small. Out in the country we have some pretty big houses I mean my house is 3500feet and it is nowhere near the biggest house..

Exactly.
In the British isles in general there is a major difference in house sizes from country to city.

And a huge difference in garden (yard) sizes as well.
