Maastricht Treaty revisions needed?

[kandrathe]

For example, housing in Denmark - rental homes were between $4000 and $8000 per month. Here in the MSP Metro area - $1000 to $3000

Okay, this is completely wrong. Rental homes are in the $1000-$3000 price range in Copenhagen, which is generally considered the most expensive place to live in Denmark. I have never seen $4000 (though admittedly I haven't been looking), and $8000 is insane.

The rent on my (fairly large) one bedroom apartment is $1375.

I was looking at single family homes. Apartments are harder to compare due to the variability in size. I was trying to compare by similar size (sq. m), so I chose a commodity that would be comparable. The single family home.

You can get a 1 bedroom apartment with 1 bathroom around here for under $300.

Here is a sample of rentals; http://www.expatriates.com/classifieds/d...available/ But, you have here everything from ultra tiny studio, to luxury condo. Still they are cheaper than the SFH.
