Population density is hardly a good measure. Munich has 4300 people/km2 and, let met tell you, it's hard to find an affordable flat there. NYC or Paris are hardly a good comparison, either. In this sense, Munich is very crowded. In October, in particular, the housing situation is even more difficult, given thousands of new students. I'm sure Copenhagen is somewhat similar.

thirsteh claimed that Copenhagen was overcrowded. I didn't bring density into the discussion.

"Crowded" in the sense that thirsteh used refers to population density, not whether or not it's hard to find an apartment. Also, you can't automatically assume that it's hard to find an apartment in Copenhagen just because it is in other cities. It's gotten a lot easier in the past few years, and if you're willing to look beyond the city center, you'll find something pretty fast.

So, basically, exactly what I said? Are you just arguing for arguing's sake? :)
