This is a huge country. California is 3,000 miles west of Manhattan and has developed independent of what New Yorkers might think is best for them as has every single other town, city, state.

No one is saying America should be Europe. It can’t be. But there are things that are done better in Europe, or other parts of the world, than in America. And vice versa. YOU don’t want To learn from anywhere else but many Americans do.
America isn’t monolithic either. I hate the places you like, and you probably hate the places I like.
Anyway, Europe generally has much better, more walkable city centers than America. A good rail network is essential to this. Making a place like Oxnard more like a French or Spanish city with a similar climate would be a massive improvement.
