That's not a poor lifestyle, that's a good lifestyle enhabled by sensibly designed cities. Bike around Copenhagen or sit in jams on the LA freeways? I know which I'd rather do.

I agree.

Many middle class Danes still have less material wealth than most poor Americans. Whether material wealth buys happiness or a better lifestyle is a different question.

In the US people have the option to live wonderful lives but also the freedom to screw up (and a system that encourages some screw ups). In Denmark that wonderful life is materially limited more but there is less freedom to screw up.

Also much of that material wealth is bought on (easy) credit.
