I compared prices of houses in Morocco vs America. And for same prices, American homes were WAY better, in all ranges of prices.

But I would totally lose an argument if I tried to argue that the same salary goes a longer way in America, everything is cheaper there, except if you average out the quality of life.

People are simply accustomed today on a better quality of living, it is not only the square footage, everything else is more expensive. At the same time I won't call it a non-issue, if that's what society is demanding, then there is something wrong, you can't easily unplug and live in 1987. We live in a society sadly :(
