In the US, houses are getting smaller. And the trend is to make the kitchen, dining area, and iiving room all one room. In some houses, that means just a corner for the kitchen, with the dining area in the other corner.
They are a bit. But general newer detached homes are still quite a bit bigger than ones from the 50s and 60s.
Look at the Nordics. A bundle of fun they really are.
I think most Scandinavians are quite happy. The situation in Norway is definitely not gloomy (the weather might be, though). Great economy, much better income equality than the UK, almost full employment, good work-life balance.

Well I'm not a European, but I am a American, I guess I could point out a thing or two I love about Europe
Everywhere you step you are looking at history...literally
The cities are BEAUTIFUL, they have the historic feeling to it, the cities in Spain, Italy and other coastal countries are even more beautiful then the ones a bit up north.
Free healthcare, but I try to keep in mind they are still technically paying for it, its just a choice for americans and not for Europeans
Better transportation
Better location
That is one of the things I love about living in Scotland. I love ancient sites (5,000 years old) and buildings that were built in the 15th century just down my road. I love taking a short flight to France and visiting the amazing medieval villages! Also love taking a 5 hour train trip down to London which is my favourite city in the world.
No, the healthcare isn't free, it comes out of our taxes and I'm very grateful I never have to think about insurance or co-pays, etc like I did in the US.
Are cities in Finland building new housing to keep up? With smaller household size, even constant population is hard to pull off. It's hard to squeeze in new housing in an old, built out city. Where does the growth go?
On wasteland, quite frankly. In Helsinki especially on the artificial islands previously used by port facilities.
Like i said america has great sceney and Buffalo/bison ox and musical talent with some nice open minded midwestern women who are more than willing to try out new things. And this is coming from a guy whos been up and down the country a couple times.

High income inequality in the UK is mostly because of the millionaires and billionaires. Low earners here are no worse off and have access to a good social safety net.
The great Norwegian economy doesn't offset the dullness and the weird people.
