Uk twitter discussing how Americans live a subpar life

[Doin2Much Williams]

100% true. Built a country around cars being able to get around instead of people.

I live in Ohio and it’s so bad out here they just started adding sidewalks to a bunch of roads this year. If you cant drive they gon make everything difficult for you until you do

What they started doing here in Seattle is closing off residential streets. So unless you live in that street, they want to limit road traffic and keep it relegated to pedestrians and bicyclist.


And in the summers, they block entire avenues and blvds. Our chief of transportation here ain't shiit; it's corrupt as hell (our license tabs are calculated by the value of your vehicle at MSRP and not current market value and then a percent of that.


Short story short, I used to pay two hundred-ish for my tabs prior to 2016.



Then that shiit passed and it doubled overnight.



Now that I drive something slightly higher in value... my tabs are now $1200 a year.



Live in the Emerald City brehs.




And you wanna compare potholes? Well, we allocate our budget to homeless people and the corrupt politicians pocket the rest, so now you're driving like it's involuntary hydraulics because there's a massive gaping bump/hole in pavement every other street.

And the NYC system was 'completed' in 1940. Never suffered wartime damage, and hasn't been renovated nearly to the extent the London system has. You're basically comparing a 100-year old house with a couple recent additions to a 150-year old house that suffered extensive damage and was refurbished 80 years ago.​

What wartime damage? It's under ground. Hence the name.

I’m from Chicago and when I visited NYC for the 1st time I remember being disgusted at all the heaps of trash I saw sitting out in front of stores in Manhattan

but other than that it was cool

Yea nyc doesn’t have alleys like Chicago

nyc first subway with open gang ways being tested right now. Are there any subways in America that have gangways?


The number trains will be getting next. In the works as we speak

 

[UberEatsDriver]

Oh and btw can you believe some New Yorkers had the nerve to speak against open gang ways lol

 

[null]

We don’t need that here until half of the american population gets their license revoked

oh yes you do sofort !!!

terrible drivers.

Yea but Germany has good drivers. That’s literally why the autobahn works there lol

you simply can't compare once you go to other major cities around the world.

NYC is pretty fukkin gross

it's a great city. but like other parts of the US, investment in infrastructure is shyt. there are dams that are ready to burst, bridges ready to fall, roads still not upgraded, etc.

the US really sent 13 billion fukking dollars to the UKRAINE but streets are shyt and public schools get no funding. what the fukk is the point of taxation then? if it isnt going back into america, where the fukk is it going?

The UKs contactless payment system put ours to shame

well as I said before cities like NYC do not deserve to be in America. America is a country that is built to take care of cities like Houston and Atlanta

U mean tap 2 go

 

[FlyRy]

U mean tap 2 go

Whatever the fukk you wanna call it. Even the man selling peanuts in the street lets you pay with your phone, yet many places in this country still don't accept it. They're like a decade ahead of us
