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 …

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 …

Replying to @MorlockP
I appreciate the counter examples, not the hostility. I have spent time randomly browsing Google maps trying to find waterfront in US cities. Simply I'd like to see more of it in the US, many places I've looked at in the US do not feature extensive public waterfront.

I apologize for the hostility.
