The sad thing is that I'm not sure America even has many cities, at least, not real ones. Perhaps I'm biased by having lived in southern California too long but it seems like everywhere but the densest parts of downtowns are just vast seas of parking with a building sprinkled here and there. It's pathetic. I lived in Dublin for a few years and if it were built like a US city half the downtown would be surface parking for the two major sports stadia. Of course, it's not, because European cities aren't pathetic dumps.

(Usual exceptions made for cities that existed before the car like SF and NYC, though even SF is surrounded by suburban hellscape).
