I think you are mistaking the European way of policing with how cities are constructed. Most of the problems big cities have in the US come from high tolerance of overt crime, drug abuse, homelessness and more. - things that are mostly not tolerated elsewhere, and used to not be tolerated here either.
Half of the names of cities you have lived in are definitely mega-cities, or very close to being a mega-city. Manhattan, Brooklyn, Seattle, Palo Alto - none of these are even remotely similar to typical modern-day suburbs.
- ethanbond 4y agoRight, and the other half is not. I’m clearly having difficulty speaking a language you understand, so have a good rest of your evening!
- mcphage 4y ago> high tolerance of overt crime I'm curious what you mean by this, given the unusually high incarceration rate in the US.
- ethanbond 4y ago> it used to not be tolerated here either Seems pretty evident GP lacks both historical and geographical context.
- sagarm 4y agoPalo Alto qualifies as a mega-city? What exactly do you consider a "city" as opposed to a mega city?
