I think it's worth remembering that Hacker News is a global platform and if someone refers to "major cities" in Denmark, for many (most?) readers, the only name that would come to mind is Copenhagen.
Again: That is why I wrote major cities - I wouldn't expect anybody to know.
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.
Because from the point of view of the rest of the world, there aren't any major cities in Denmark other than Copenhagen...
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.
I've actually spent a week in Copenhagen relatively recently and I literally couldn't have named another city in the country. My bad, I know, but I'm pretty well-traveled and that's the truth.
Copenhagen: ~1.4M people
Odense: ~190K people
Aalborg: ~120K people
Randers: ~64K people
