These things are always compared to other regions and I have never lived anywhere else so I can't really give a coherent answer. But Europe is pretty big and diverse (in the positive meaning of the word) which means that making a sweeping statement such as "European governments do a pretty well job of handling infrastructure" is absurd. Do the national and regional governments of every region in every country of Europe do a pretty well job of handling infrastructure? The answer is obviously no. Some things are pretty good and some things are pretty bad. Like... everywhere else in the civilised world.
