Most Americans “prefer” that because it’s all they’ve seen. In reality, most Americans prefer European cities over anything they have themselves. Which is a huge reason why they spend tons of money to live in little hotel rooms in the middle of well run European cities. Also, countries like Switzerland, Netherlands, etc have suburbs and excellent mass transit connecting those suburbs. Sure, mass transit isn’t possible in American style suburbs because American style suburbs have literally been designed around cars.
