Uk twitter discussing how Americans live a subpar life

Both places seem


But so is Vancouver

That line alone tells me you have no clue what you are talking about.

It's London, it rains practically everyday.

Nothing you say is to be believed after that.

Then tell me what makes the tube better than the subway.

Is nyc designed that much different from London it's dense and full of apartments so idk wym

The way eastern European countries have their infrastructure set up, every block can operate as it's own mini economy. Appartment complexes and businesses coexist in the same places so everything seems a short distance.

In the US everything is super spaced out and separated, outside of NYC, the public transportation system is garbage so it always feels like you gotta travel for everything.

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

Yup

I’m from Ohio as well.

Remember coming back from college and not having a whip for the summer, when I couldn’t get my moms ride I was assed out.

I worked in the suburbs and would have to take the bus sometimes. The place was like a 10 minute walk from the bus line And there wasn’t even sidewalks to walk on, just busy ass freeways of cars raging by

I’ll never forget those days. Makes me appreciative.

Why would we not defend our country?
And America is the best country to be if you are poor.
You think a poor person in london live as good as a poor american

Yes, I think a poor person in the UK has it better than a poor American.

 

[Will Ross]

Yes, I think a poor person in the UK has it better than a poor American.

Poor people in America live better.

Then tell me what makes the tube better than the subway.

Cleaner cars, cleaner stations, comprehensive for the city and well connected with the bus systems as well.

Yes, I think a poor person in the UK has it better than a poor American.

100%. You'd rather be poor in the UK and rich in the US.

Poor people in America live better.

Nah, Europe has a larger social safety net so you'd rather be poor in the UK. Trust

NYC is a shyt hole and so is london.
Nicest major city I've been to is Capenhagen followed by Brussels

Yea, this shouldn't even be debated. The Underground is hands down one of the best I've personally taken in the world.

NYC's Metro is the best in the US in terms of scale and connectivity, DC's Metro is also up there as well.

The underground is clean, easy to navigate, and connects very very well with the Bus system.

Here's what I say with regards to the US and the UK.

In the UK it's easier to get on, but harder to really move up. Whereas in the US it's harder to get on but when you do get on, you can get it big.

The underground isnt 24 hours like NYC's and it's much more expensive

DC is light years behind LA.... The fact that you pay based off how far you travel...and having rush hour fares

If it weren't for rideshare incentives + risking getting towed cause parking signs are a whole new language, people wouldn't even use it to the point of it being able to sustain itself.

DC Metro works efficiently only for the fact because the city is set up in a grid...and is only 68 sq mi.

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

British mad because they quality of life has gone down since the idiotic decision that was Brexit

 

[BK The Great]

It’s gotta be some dumbass overseas saying this dumb shyt. Blame the fukked up system. That shyt is death by design, and that shyt needs to change so it can benefit people and not these politicians or corporations. They wish they had it like the cities in the United States.

 

[ImLionyall]

This shyt will never will get better over here because we have duances still defending America. We deserve it

 

[Sankofa Alwayz]

I bet this nikka got black tea in his water bottle. Fancy ass nikka. I have a homeboy in London named Nigel. He said he went to school with creh and they used to throw crumpets and hit the nikka in the face for fun. Said he was scared to get off the trolley at his stop cause nikkas with nike tracksuits and balaclava mask would be ready to get on his ass. This is what I’m hearing from Nigel

I’m confused about his 2nd comment, he must’ve never been to London because when I was over there, it was restaurants, pubs, halal shops, bodega-looking markets, chicken burger chains, KFC, Pizza Hut, McDonalds, British/EU coffee chains, Starbucks, and a Tesco Express on damn near every single street or block. So Idk what he’s going on about with that

Ain’t nothing wrong with convenience and abundant options, that’s what urban life is supposed to be about is it not?
