What do you like and dislike about US/Canadian cities?

They are full of niggers, spics, and asians.

Talking about the cities, not the people.
>>58760889
They look like shit, concrete and cars everywhere
>>58761035
In terms of urban planning/design, what's wrong with them? At least they're not full of outdated buildings
>>58760889
Being from a small town I dislike cities in general. Too noisy
Glass residential buildings are arab tier, at least americans have real architecture in the north west

Why even live in a city if you need a car to get everywhere? That's ruining the entire point of a comfy city with everything in walking distance.
The tallness of the buildings adds something to them.
I prefer traditional European architecture most, which tends to be no taller than 5 stories or so. But we don't build them anymore.
Ranking:
1. Traditional
powergap
2. Modern/20th century, tall. USA/Canada builds these.
powergap
3. Modern/20th century, short. Europe builds these.
See pic related for a typical English city.
Nice old architecture, but totally shit-tier towers.
Not comfy. I like riding my bike or walking. Shit public transport infrastructures too.

The thing I like most about European cities is the "theme" certain cities have where all the buildings look similar and have a similar design and what not. Makes it look less messy than our cities.
But if you go to cities like NYC and Boston they feel very much like some parts of the UK. Especially Brooklyn.

There are benefits, like being able to park right up to the shop instead of taking a bus and then walking there. Although I guess that may contribute to why we're so fat
They look like our cities with worse public transport.

One of the awful legacies of modern architecture is the "International Style," which basically seeks to make everywhere look the same. They don't try and fit the building to the local area. They build in a style which all their architect friends also build in, in different cities and countries, so that everywhere ends up looking the same. The ideologies of modern architects are just one big slap in the face; so brazen and evil.
I can hardly think of anything that has gone so badly wrong in Europe as the architecture.
I'll tell you after I visit North America.
