    I think most of the people here probably haven’t. I myself have only been once.

    The issue with this comparison is the cultural differences. Like in America that bottom image would be basically impossible to get in and out of on the way to work. Whereas Starbs or Dunkin is like a 5 minute pit stop tops

      Again, wrong. In Italy or France it’s perfectly normal to pop into a cafe for a quick coffee on the way to work.

        Okay?..I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make here. In America people generally don’t do that… Which is a cultural difference… How is that wrong? Lol

            I would argue lacking appropriate infrastructure to support a walking city is a cultural thing. Americans like their cars man.

            I personally would love to see some more public transportation and walkable cities but I know enough “car guys” to confidently say that a substantial percentage of Americans prefer it like this. I think it’s shifting away with each generation but we aren’t anywhere near Europe yet
