You are making the argument that Americans would consider it inhumane to live in Swiss apartments because they are too small?

I was being hyperbolic, but yes, I think they would consider them too small and too old. Many would simply be illegal in the US due to their lack of amenities.
Sorry, but the Swiss are excellent builders.
I would guess there is a big cultural difference between where Americans and Europeans(in general) spend their days. I would guess Americans spend their days at home watching television while Swiss in particular are more outdoorsy and do a lot more activities.
I don't know why you think there are fewer amenities here than in the US. What specific amenities do you think are lacking?
a 15 minute walk from me there are public baths(free, including the amazing Limmat river with crystal clear water), hiking(free), amazing bars, night clubs and restaurants.
It is really is quite remarkable. However, I think this is enabled by expensive high density apartment housing.
Americans would consider the apartment sizes inhumane and a supermajority of the population are locked out of our owning a home.
