      10/ "I have been to XYZ, and in XYZ things are great, but in America they suck" This is a status move. The speaker claims: - to be well travelled - to be knowledgeable - to be sophisticated - to have status high enough to crap on the in group

      11/ It often works, bc people don't challenge someone who swaggers in with a lot of confidence. Ironically "I have been to X and it is better than home" is actually a very provincial claim - it usually means "I've been to 2 beautiful spots in X during my 3 day vacation".

      12/ And when people crap on America "oh, here we don't have a good rail network / factories that can build X / walkable neighborhoods / whatever", they're basically saying that they don't know much of the US EITHER. Yeah, I'm sorry your crappy small town doesn't have X, my dude

      14/ This is another key point. The US has inherited most of its land use from 1900, and has only updated it piecemeal, and at great cost. Japan had ... _cough_ ... a huge opportunity for urban renewal circa ... oh, wow, that's weird ... 1945 and 1946.https://twitter.com/FishLikesFlicks/status/1288595090873737217 …

      Granted...a lot of the greenways have been recent renovations of old rail lines, etc - but also a parallel to Japan rebuilding after the war.

      15/ TLDR: * don't speak about country X in generalities unless you've spent months, or better yet, years there * don't speak about your home country unless you've actually gotten out there * stop saying stupid false things; it's irritating AF

          16/ EVERY country has a history of industry and roads built on the water. Water transportation is a fraction of the cost of land transportation, so EVERYONE puts industry and ports there.https://twitter.com/kettlecorn/status/1288596375551131648 …

          That's hardly what I was aiming to do. I frequently randomly browse on Google maps, and many US cities have a history of industry and highways built on the water. Since then a number have changed course and built up public space along the water.

          For most people, I don't think this becomes real until they do travel extensively. The more time I spend in other countries, and the more of the US I manage to explore, the more I realize how much better here is. Not perfect, not even close, but better.

          I've seen informal settlements and townships in and around Johannesburg and spent a lot of time in slums in Mumbai over the last 2 years. Nothing in the US compares.
