I don't think that's only U.S. entitlement; raising a family in a 46 m^2 home would be considered quite small in most of Europe, even in the poorer countries. Though it depends on where you live more than anything, even within one country. A 46 m^2 apartment in an expensive city like Barcelona, and a 46 m^2 apartment or house in a small Spanish town occupy pretty different market positions.

If he's complaining about not being able to afford a >500 sq ft apartment in Manhattan, I agree that'd be pretty entitled, analogous to the Barcelona example. I'm guessing he's not in Manhattan, though.
