I was told Boston was the place for European feel in the United States but turns out it's literally just a single street. Is there no city in the US that has a lot of streets with European feel?

there were plenty before there were paved over with Walmart parking lots.
i dunno man
maybe nantucket. No cities in the country are like european ones, at most there's only going to be a couple of blocks or so of the old ones that vaguely look euro. Another place that comes to mind is the pikes place market area in seattle, there's a bunch of small winding alleys, hallways and shit
Just to clarify, by ‘European’ you mean cobblestone, right?
I think he meant designed for people, not cars
I don't know why Europeans expect this when 90% of America was built after the invention of the automobile.
they haven't experienced enrichment yet
Mackinac Island, Michigan
99% of Europe is more car dependent than that place
There's a small relatively obscure city called New York City that is like that
Boston has a good few neighborhoods that are pedestrian friendly, I think he wants very specific aesthetics as well.
Solvang, CA
>in the United States
In the US no, but just above the border you have Montreal which is probably as close as you're going to get in N. America
Boston is definitely it's own feel, New England if anything, nothing there to remind a reasonable person of Europe at all.
Every european city ever is an old town surrounded by grey, ugly commie block shitholes.
And if the city was bombed flat in WWII then the entire city is just ugly, grey commie blocks.
The US is not Europe, they have no history and don't care about culture that isn't mass produced slop. Americans destroyed all their historical neighborhoods to prop up Walmarts and parking lots. Suburbs are endless sprawls of thin ugly wooden McMansions and gas stops. The only worthwhile parts are the very few "untouched" nature reserves which you need a car to get to because Americans are too poor and stupid to make a decent rail system that doesn't collapse in on itself more often than India.
you don't understand corruption or Black folk
Irrelevant, it's all done for the car. Look up videos of the most ghetto spots. It caters to the car.
>they have no history
why do you exaggerate a stupid point when you can make your argument with actual facts about why things aren't nice?
to be fair there isnt much of old europe left either. most euros live in commie blocks of various size built some time after ww2. suburban sprawls are also very common in west europe
and im not talking about commie blocks from the 60s, 70s, 80s. they are building them right now.
New Orleans, French Quarter
There are a couple, but usually small. European cities were built before the invention of cars so they have old buildings and streets where as in America we have roads. Everything is designed for semis. Europe has city squares and a bit more soil for sure. Most cities in America, especially suburbs are the same but there is definitely a different vibe to big cities as well as rural parts. For example NOLA has a totally different vibe than Portland. Charleston SC has a totally different vibe than Detroit. As well as rural Vermont the fall is totally different than Arizona in terms of both climate and how their rural places are setup

While I agree wholeheartedly rightfully with shitting on you're a peons who deserve it at every possible opportunity, you should have a nice day for mass replying
Don't forget, European peoples came to America to escape Europe, not to recreate it. In Mexico you will find more Spanish vibes in the centros historicos, as many of them were built centuries before independence.
Just go to Disneyland. Not only is it walkable, but they also have nice rail transport. They also have small houses, and it's not possible for you to drive in Disneyland.
Also the majority of those US homes are empty because nobody can afford them
the North end in Boston is a euro vibe
like where?
it's a very small neighborhood, look it up. take a walk down Hanover or Salem St.
Most of America destroyed their historical architecture in the 1930s. Think cultural revolution. No deaths but much more was destroyed.
Euros are obsessed
>watch American media
>eat at American restaurants
>speak American language
>buy American electronics
>use American inventions
>live under the banner of freedom provided by the American military
And it makes them feel impotent so we get threads like this lashing out
Washington state has a Bavarian enclave that resembles a European village if that's what you want. European cities, I know Utah does the European grid system for their planning.
Why don't you just go to fricking Europe if you want a "European feel"? It's not Europe and never will be remotely like it. You can tell the instant you arrive. The people are obnoxious buttholes and the only thing remotely old school is the red brick.
They don't except Americans. I would live right now forever if I could
