Ok, I guess, even though you're the one making the claim lol
Housing in Italy is projected to cost $1,070 per month on average, for a total of $1,970 per month on average for overall cost of living.
For some reason that site doesn't have figures for all of the USA, but on average, costs are higher in the USA both for housing and overall cost of living.
