There is nothing in Europe that looks like the plantations in Savannah Georgia. Go check out Asheville north Carolina. Cape May, NJ, Avalon California, Harpers Ferry Maryland.

        The overwhelming majority of Quebec City actually looks like this. Just like every other city in Canada, basically.

        Europeans lack a fundamental understanding of the scope of North American cities and space because they have spent centuries living a primarily urban lifestyle in relatively small, densely populated places where even on the edges, semi-detached homes and condominiums are the prevailing mode of habitation.

        Neither one is better than the other, each have some very good qualities and some very bad. But of course Americans and Europeans will bicker about it endlessly.

            Your understanding of urbanisation is stupid and flawed in and of itself, notwithstanding the fact that North American and European "urbanisation" could reasonably be described as two completely different things. Again this stems from a lack of understanding of the scope and space of North American cities.

            >As a tourist you're not gonna visit random people's driveway in the suburbs.

            You're right, which is why in the Americas people generally visit to explore the country rather than the cities (bar NYC, DC, LA, etc). You are have just become accustomed to the constant stimulation of hyper-urban environments that you can't even begin to conceptualise anything else.

            Also

            True. It's exactly the same in Europe too.

            is right. OPs cherry picked image of a romantic Roman street is not the rule, it's the exception. These exceptions are almost entirely located within walking distance from the centre of any European city. Beyond that you will see a lot of poor neighbourhoods with crumbling buildings and graffiti. In Eastern Europe you will see depressing commie blocks. It's entirely disingenuous to say "X cities are not beautiful" and then when someone says actually this one or that one is, you say "w-well not the whole city!!" knowing full well that there isn't a single European city that is "beautiful" throughout.

They all just wait around for their parents to die in the hopes they inherit a tiny apartment. Frick apartment living. Who wants people living on top of you? That's not the American dream.

        I was staying in your pictured Maria Isabel during the big earthquake, remember looking out the window at the Angel every time I stayed there. It sustained a lot of damage, cracks in every wall.

        Mexico city is 3x the size of the land mass of NYC, and I think the largest on the Continent, and I think their version of Central Park, Chapultepec is way prettier.

        I actually love the architecture of Miami as my #1 , from Art Deco to Coral Gables, this is a pretty city, and usually ranks in one of the nicest night skylines in the world. It's the only zone in the US that is sub-tropicl and lush landscaping everywhere.

    I suppose it depends on how you define beautiful. Take Portland, OR. The downtown core is nothing special, but if you like the Craftsman bungalow type architecture, there are lots of nice residential neighborhoods all over the city, and when everything is in bloom and it’s late afternoon/early evening in the summer, it doesn’t get much better. Nothing in Europe compares.

        You misunderstand the data. It's all about population density. The US has half the population density that Europe has. The cities in the US are huge in terms of land, but most of that land is typically suburbs. Louisville Kentucky, for example, has a population of 350,000 and is 263 square miles of land. By comparison, Rome has a population of 4 million and is only 450 square miles of land. If you drove around Louisville, you would find that most of the city is really suburbs and single family homes while in Rome you would find that most people lived in tall buildings in apartments.

                So even though the raw data says that Europeans and Americans are just as urbanized as one another, if you think about the context of European versus American style urbanization, Europeans still live in and are much more accustomed to a more metropolitan lifestyle. The other consideration is that the data includes ALL of Europe which includes backward underdeveloped agrarian countries like Ukraine, Belarus, etc. Developed Europe, which is realistically the only place we are talking about since nobody gives a single flying frick about Moldova, is infinitely more urbanized than USA.

          I was in Rome for a week this year staying in an apartment. I'm so used to living in a big house in the US where I can't hear the neighbors that I forgot about apartment problems I had when I was in college. The people in the unit next to us in Rome started smoking and it filled the hallway and started coming under the door. Our apartment stunk. We left and they were still blasting music at 3am. Then they screamed at each-other drunk in the hallway for an hour. This kind of shit happened a lot during our 3 week trip. Living in pretty European city seems romantic, but the reality hits you hard when so many people are crammed on top of you. I'll take my house in the suburbs back in the good old US over any city in Europe.

        I can tell that you're young and you don't really have any idea what you're talking about, but I'll give you some more examples.

        The undeveloped land in the more affluent countries of Europe are not for sale or are much more expensive. An acre of land in Bavaria costs between 5000-$40,000, while an acre of land in Maine can still be purchased for less than $1000. Here's 42 acres in Maine for only 39k. https://www.landwatch.com/penobscot-county-maine-recreational-property-for-sale/pid/410004272

        And here's less than acre in Germany for sale for 125K

        If you look through the listings, these numbers are fairly consistent. Which is why people in the US don't have to live in big giant buildings in the middle of densely packed urban areas. They can spread out. This is why the cities look different.

          The US cities are garbage because 90% were built in steam era and 75% were built in car era. Even then people have left historically old cities of Baltimore and Philadelphia for the suburbs in the past 70 years. Leaving their former "dense" cities to Black folks. They have become uninhabitable ghettoes of crime, drugs, and prostitution. That’s why Amerocuvks cry about $4 gasoline when even europoors were already paying $6. Amerocucks are rich on the outside but poor on the inside.

            That's actually closer to the truth. But even in cities like Baltimore, you find huge suburban neighborhoods like Gambrills Maryland packed full of homes that look like this.

            Some random photo you pulled from the internet showing one piece of data with zero context is a bad way to form a worldview. That's why I know you're young. You only understand the world in memes.

            Did you even read the rest of the website you sourced your photo from? According to the website, 90 percent of the US population lives in an Urban area. Their definition of Urban does not mean a city.

    You've never been to Seattle, then. Mount Rainier to the south, Mount Baker to the north, Cascades to the east, Olympics to the west, Puget Sound, islands, lots of rain so everything is green, some neat hills to liven things up.

    If it weren't for all the fricking communists and druggies, it would be paradise. Even 25 years ago it was a israeliteel of a city.

            This is a non-problem. Rural living conditions is more common in Europe than USA so there are very routine standards and procedures for how to maintain this. Basically a firm or local government comes around 2 times a year to check that everything is in order and empty the septic tank if needed.
            >Americans seem to be worried about convenience first and foremost and that comes at a price
            The main price is freedom to live how you want where you want. Most are forced to live cramped in the government designated rectangle

        This. That pic looks like it is from Arizona or New Mexico. Take a gander at Pheonix, a completely planned city with it's canals and everything. Also, most homes aren't one plot of land passed down, since we have an abundance of land, developers buy a huge plot and maximize how many houses they can get per acre while still keeping yard space etc.

    Here's my experience staying in apartments in Europe: They are usually 700 square feet with a kitchen with maybe 2 small appliances. You can't open your window to enjoy the outside because literally 50 people in the building smoke and that shit pours in through the window. The walls are paper thin and people blast their music and televisions all night long. The lack of building regulations and inspections means that everything is dangerous. The elevators are death traps. No one has a fire alarm or CO2 alarm because the smoke would set them off all day so the every building is a massive fire hazard. No one has a real mattress like we have in the US. They sleep on shitty thin foam. People walk through the allies screaming all night from 12-5 am as the different bars close. The buildings are so close that any police siren or ambulance within a mile of your apartment is enough to wake you up. All of the streets outside your apartment stink like piss because there are no public restrooms.

    This is why people choose to live in big houses in suburbs in the US.

      One nice thing about European apartments is they are small. 750 Sq ft is a nice size for one person. When I owned houses in the US I ended up buying 2000 Sq ft because that was the smallest I could find and I always ended up with 3 extra bedrooms I didn't need
