Travel can also help tremendously with this, by the way. I have been in China, South Africa, Argentina for work, but even in the Czech Republic you can already notice how good we actually have it here.
Correct.
And to once again address the argument "in other countries the homeownership rate is much higher 1111!!!!":
Usually, the financial means of the individual or the respective market situation is responsible for how much living space someone allows themselves or more precisely can afford.
In Germany, the figure as of 2017 is about 45 m² per person. In 1991 it was about 35 m². What is interesting here is that in 1991 there were just over 13 million people between the ages of 20 and 29. In 2017 there were only just under 10 million, while in the same period the number of people aged 80 and over grew from just over 3 million to over 5 million.
These numbers suggest that the older people in Germany get, the more living space is needed. Interestingly, the living space per person in Austria and Switzerland is also about 45 m². In England, Spain, Sweden, and France the average living space per person is about 33 m², in Italy about 31 m². However, homeownership rates there are significantly higher than in Germany.
So you could say: It is significantly higher elsewhere because realistic houses without excessive square meter figures are built there, not palaces.
