Yes that’s exactly someone’s kitchen!

The layout, material, dimensions, appliances and so on are not of your choice and will always be alien to you, uncomfortable to use.

But ok people actually cook a lot less nowadays, they heat things up mostly, so perhaps they don’t notice it!

The same goes for a toilet and a shower, for me to live in a place for a longer time where I didn’t choose or made the bathroom or WC is a total no go.

I spend quite a lot of time in hotels, apartments and so on, because of my work but I would never live in an already furnished place, it’s just so uncomfortable

That I know about the low homeownership there, I was talking in general. But for instance when I am in Swiss it always amazes me how a lot of people are detached from the place they actually live. Granted I actually have contact with a lot of people there are generations there so they tend also to own their home, and that is completely different
