What might not be apparent to this author is that lots of Americans dislike American suburbs, too. At least this one does. I also had a hard time telling the photos from Norway from places I've seen in the United States. It's quite large and diverse, unlike those suburbs! > Norway is approximately 323,802 sq km, while United States is approximately 9,833,517 sq km, making United States 2,937% larger than Norway. There is, of course no doubt that the automobile enabled lifestyle is predominant here. And I also don't have any expectation of anyone emigrating from Norway to move to a boring American suburb! But if they wanted scenes like those photos from Oslo, there are places in America that look like that. Of course, the author and I probably share some of the same feelings - we do not think our country is perfect, but we do hope to see the good things our country has, and perhaps feel some draw to defend what people think of our country when the merits are questioned!
