Look 20 minutes out of Odense, Aalborg, Randers, etc.
Don't let yourself believe that a country is nothing but its capital - it is correct, that if you decide to live in a 4mil DKK apartment in the Copenhagen area, then you have also opted out of public help, and you are on your own.
> but I find disingeneus portraing a picture where in dk you can buy a house for 80k USD and leaving out the information that you are probably in the middle of nowhere - no jobs, no public transport, no services
The point is exactly the opposite. You can get a house at a reasonable cost, 20 minutes away from a city you can likely get a job in - Even well paid tech jobs (They exists in both Odense and Aalborg).
I fint it disingenuous to pick pick out a very specific situation like this instead of looking at the broader argument.
Can you share what well paid tech jobs exist in such cities? I mean jobs open to foreigners not just Danish citizens.
Copenhagen: ~1.4M people
Odense: ~190K people
Aalborg: ~120K people
Randers: ~64K people
Again - why this extreme focus on the specifics? I merely argued that the housing market in the broader Denmark is reasonable, and you can usually easily commute to jobs in a city while living cheaply - something that is strictly more difficult in the US.
Saying that there is cheap housing 20 minutes outside of a town with 64K people doesn't really make the point that it's inexpensive and accessible to live in / near major cities.
