Because these benefits don’t necessary result in growth of real gdp per capita, but increase the stability and livability of a city.

A PhD student in many places in Europe can afford to have their own apartment and have kids. Where is that possible in usa?

Sorry didn’t mean buy, I meant rent your own one bedroom apartment, rather than have roommates which is the norm in usa.

In terms of cities it would be all except maybe London and Paris.

Also in most European countries renting is just as good as buying because of favourable tenant laws
