Worse or Better? Depends on your perspective. If you consider these train station bike parking situations bad, there are lots of train stations and other attractions in the U.S. that you might find blessed with zero bikes cluttering up the parking lots or sidewalks at any time night or day.
The new version of Nørreport has a severe bottleneck where the bikelane, insects a crosswalk, a staircase to the subway, a few bus stops and a busy supermarket with a ton of bikes on the street.
Not a big fan of that!

This is one of the reasons smaller towns are nice. Although, now that I moved to a very small town of about 30,000 here in Sweden, I usually just walk the few blocks to the center of town if I'm not going on a long ride after my stop for coffee or vegetables or whatever.
The problem of bike theft in places like this is probably overstated. When I moved to Sweden, the crime problems in my smaller University town were described as primarily being related to drunk students having a spat with one-another, with second place falling to bike theft. Come to find that most of the bikes aren't locked to fixed objects, and many aren't locked even to themselves. The fact that it's the number two crime on the pareto makes it seem like a problem, but it's probably much better than most American larger cities. And if you lock any part of your bike to a fixed object, it'll probably be okay.
