Broadband access - Sure, the US is better than most of the world, but pretty mediocre compared to the western world.
Computers - I'll give you that one, gadgets are pretty cheap in the US, you'll have to go to parts of Asia to beat that.
Safe Environment - It doesn't matter if you mean crime or natural disasters or corruption, Canada and most of Europe beats the US on this point.
Cars - Remember that the US is built such that it requires everyone to have a car. There are many places elsewhere where you really don't need one, which cuts your costs for transportation by a lot.
Housing - You forgot this one, perhaps because the US has the most expensive housing in the western world? Compared to the average salary it's pretty ok, but we were talking about the absolute cost of living, not the relative cost of living.
Tax Burden - It's definitely lower than average compared to the rest of the western world, but it's also nothing special.
