I've stepped foot in about 39 States and can agree. There's an incredible amount of diversity in the United States.
Yes, so much diversity in your culture of strip malls and and suburbs.
inb4 someone names one of five cities with unique architecture in America.
Also, I’m Canadian so this is self-deprecating. We gutted our cities 80 years ago and turned them into boring asphalt wastelands. I can see that at an intersection not too far from my apartment, where one tall, beautiful building from 100 years ago still remains, but on every other corner is a gas station, a car dealership, and a parking lot. And the streets that were once walkable and pleasant are now stroads with ridiculous traffic patterns that were widened to make way for more car traffic. I know this because an old photograph of the same area is painted on the side of an electrical box near that intersection.
Edit: lmao, got ‘em
What a horrible take - you clearly haven't traveled much, abroad or even in your own country. Diversity and culture is more than architecture. Do you believe that Toronto is similar to Ontario? There's definitely a percieved lack of "culture" in America but to believe it's ubiquitous is just hilarious
Um ... Isn't Toronto in Ontario?
Whatever, he's on a roll.
We’re just not well travelled enough to know :(.
