  1. If European countries can preserve old buildings, so can the US. But US just chose not to.

  2. Or the US government wants to knock it down and build a new highway. US doesn't care about it's architectural history, unless they're landmarks.

  3. Yeah Europe is much much older than the USA, yet many Americans think that their country is the oldest in the world, which is not true and their country was "founded" in 1776, making their country nearly 248 years old in 2024.

  4. Meanwhile US in the 1950's, they would likely demolish old houses, apartments and shops in order to make space for a new motorway cutting through the area. Good thing in Europe, motorways were built away from the city centre. The ring road (A10) around Amterdam would be cutting through the area if it was the US

  5. US is such a young country compared to most of Europe.

  6. Maybe Americans are used to buildings and groups of houses that look like they were projected and built like that from scratch because most houses in the US are built during the 20th century or even 21st century..
