I wish we had some tiny europoor streets here.
Everything in America has to be 50 feet wide so jimbo can park his F-250

why is that?
even in M*xico we have those
I think it is the mediterranean influence
Thomas Adams
Because we used to drive these things around
Aaron Price
>What is New England
>What are the original colonies
We even have them if you consider us 'you'
Zachary Parker
Dumbasses made laws mandating our street lanes be really wide.
Also people used to think wide streets were a good thing so they built streets with a lot of lanes.
As a result our streets are very wide and often empty for most of the day. Lots of wasted space. Recently there's been movements to repurpose the street space for something besides cars.
Camden Walker
there are many places like that east of the Appalachians
William Young
you probably do in nyc or san francisco or something even my city has a couple of these laneway memes
David Gonzalez
Don't you have some small towns like that in New England?
Jayden Hill
They are comfy, but they are a nightmare for driving and parking. The best would be something inbetween EU aesthetics and NA functionality
Landon Collins
Small streets are shit and you’re pathetic for sucking European cock. Grow a spine
Gavin Rodriguez
isnt LA bloated with traffic? (assuming thats LA)
David Rodriguez
Yep.
Engineers have recently realized that the more highways you build somewhere, the worse traffic gets.
Atlanta is similar.
Both cities are trying to urbanize and reduce sprawl and "road diets" are a part of that.
Lincoln Cooper
>Me hate small streets and everyone who like small streets
What a fucking gay and retarded opinion
Brandon Jackson
As long as the pavements are big enough they are good.
Needs parking lots though.
Jeremiah Brown
you have some in boston
Jaxson Wood
it's not just the wide streets user...
America is like one big cheap shopping mall
Michael Rogers
I dislike this too. European cities are so cute
James Scott
You can see the European dream still alive (but slowly fading) in some parts of America to this day. St Augustine, Florida (pic related), Boston, I think some parts of Pennsylvania as well. Montreal, although that's in Canada, it's probably the most European city in all of North America.
It's sad to see what NA has become.
Dominic Phillips
It’s just a few places inside the city. We have one street in Saint Augustine Florida too. One street lol
Caleb Gray
I'll never understand why society "had" to evolve to become the degenerate soulless garbage that it is today. I guess the Jews maybe.
We had the perfect model, if it's not broke, don't fix it.
Michael Cox
Based and redpilled that you thought of St Augustine as well haha! I completely agree with this thread brother.
Lucas Cooper
You're forgetting about many cities like Charleston, Baltimore, St. Louis, Richmond, etc
Juan Jenkins
There's not THAT many cities, and even so, most of them have been completely redone. The historic parts are few and far between.
Thomas Morris
cringe. there's only small streets in the touristy medieval part of the cities, that were built before the car / horse carriage became common.
Elijah Martin
Well there's not that many cities that are old enough to have old streets
William Allen
Any plans of moving to Europe OP?
Mason Howard
Lucas Johnson
>go to Europe expecting magical old towns
>end up living in an apartment in the outsides of some city
Zachary Cook
Gettin real sick of Europeans citymogging us
Aaron Kelly
I wonder when this rich, self-hating New England Bernout is finally going to move to Norway like he's been claiming for the past 6 years?
Matthew Edwards
Gorgeous!!
Adam Nelson
>move to Italy
>opening up your own business inside a cozy city
>making great money and living in a safe, white, Christian country
>marrying an Italian qt
Make your dreams come true
Jaxson Cooper
bigger lanes and streets are needed to fit average Americans
Gabriel Sanchez
We still have some of those old narrow streets in Buenos Aires.
Christian Adams
ok go fuck yourself then cunt
Alexander Powell
Also in practice all European cities have dumpy areas not shown in tourist pics. Just like any city in the world.
Jaxson Harris
Why aren't trams more popular in America? Could fit them into a wide street and would be a nice form of public transport other than buses
Joshua Williams
narrow streets are super comfy. if i had to pinpoint my greatest qualm with the USA it would be the absurd girth of your streets
Luke Myers
Grass is greener syndome is a bitch.
Jaxon Morris
that isnt true at all. most cities have very small roads outside of the arterial roads like in your image. fuck off back to burgerland tourist
Andrew Martin
another burger told me the US used to have a lot of street cars but they were all ripped up and destroyed after WW2 because the car lobbies or something.
Wyatt Bennett
After the war, everyone wanted to move out of the cities and own a car.
Jose Fisher
We have a bit more space, Bulgaria is about the approximate size of Pennsylvania.
Asher Cox
irrelevant for the the cities. im not talking about your arterial highways. try not to be completely retarded for one instant in your lifespan burger
Owen Cooper
Car culture was a mistake. It's ridiculous that LA doesn't at least have trams
Hunter Cooper
>Car culture was a mistake
Don't hate the hate because nobody in Ireland could afford one until the 1970s or something. :^)
Brandon King
We have tons of those streets in Latin America. Pic is near my house.
Hudson Thomas
It would be enormously expensive to do so and there would have to be a real reason/motivation for it and a way to recoup the expense. The postwar development of suburbs and highways was because an entire generation of young people who'd grown up half starved in the Depression now had the money for stuff like that.
Xavier Walker
Do Europeans view Americans as inferior people for having been raised in cultureless, disposable suburban environments?
Caleb Davis
In phillydelphia Boston and some areas of New York they have closet cobblestone colonial avenues and squares, not to mention the Pueblo towns of the south west
Caleb Gutierrez
...
Kayden Hernandez
We have shitty buses that go into New York and a no transit trains here in New Jersey, you can take a train from penn station to basically anywhere on the east coast not to mention New York’s infamously dirty subways home to billions of rats and piss soaked hobos, back in the 70s and eighties New York became kinda like A toned down version of Detroit, time square consisted mainly of peepshow theatres and you didn’t want to go out at night
Julian Anderson
Blame the automotive industry.
Corporations and Governments never go together well.
Eli Roberts
Oh please like they don't have Tesco's in Yurop.

Quebec city too

Lucas Reed
But this can be solved by either circular or vertical integration of a city’s transportation, in Moscow you can circle around the city due to its many rings and avoid the traffic of driving straight through it, and musk’s implementation of tunnels/the possibility of the use of lateral space in cities will mean more room and less traffic to maneuver through.
Too bad the enguhneers coming out of colleges now are very much set in stone in terms of the things they can make, they don’t think outside of the box as much, god forbid they do something they didn’t learn about at MIT
Isaiah Jackson
Actually the picture was from a news article saying that Tesco's bombed in Ireland because of "incompatibilities" with Irish shopping culture. But then, Wal-Mart bombed in Germany for same reason.
