Wohnen

In Germany it is far older and also smaller. The buildings are much older then those in the US. Also Germany is a much smaller country and has less room and that is why the streets, cars, and buildings are smaller. With them not having as much room it makes the prices go up for things like apartments and houses. Due to the expensiveness of living places in Germany it has made for more places to be built and also buildings that weren't originally living spaces to be turned in to some, like lofts or apartments in old office buildings.
The German household is much smaller then those in the US and also they have the lowest number of home owners in Europe. Most of them live in the very compacted cities, in places like apartments. Most German family's like other neighboring countries family's that are larger tend to live in the country for the space that it provides.
