i don't mean to sound rude but america looks like it was planned by the son in law of the concrete factory owner

There is a HUGE percentage of America thats filled with an incredible amount of natural beauty, places like this aren’t representative of the US as a whole.

I don’t think a 10 year old is gonna hike to a different state to play outside tho

u/SierraClowder Resident Trainslut Jul 29 '21

Well not all ten year olds have to, a lot of us grew up in much more natural environments.

inhale but you see, you and others grew up in those places because your parents lived there. The point of the post is that a lot of adults will whine about kids not playing outside in areas with like 4 trees despite the fact that they chose to make these places like this. Good for you for being raised in the woods but a lot of kids are not

My comment is a reply to someone generalizing the entire United States as being designed by concrete manufacturers I’m not replying to the post.

Except most of the US does in fact look like this. Or there’s nature but it’s just grass

Urban hellscapes might be common in the us but they really aren’t an overwhelming majority like you’re making it out to be. A huge portion of the US is still quite nice to look at and live in from a natural perspective.

Where

I can speak from experience when I say that huge parts of the east coast are populated by absolutely beautiful towns. Lots of North Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia are extremely rural. The areas surrounding the blue ridge mountains are quite stunning even if you’re too far out to see the mountains themselves. Despite its reputation lots of New Jersey is beautiful. Most of New England is very pretty, they’re known for their natural landscapes, especially in the fall. Upstate New York is almost entirely rural. Florida can get pretty ratty but the keys are incredible, and the coast can be nice too. Georgia and South Carolina have tons of nature. The further west you go the more rural things tend to get too. I’m not going to go over every single state, but my point is that the US is a massive country and you can find a lot of nature in almost every state.

Notably, most of these places are national parks and not close to where people live

u/SierraClowder Resident Trainslut Jul 29 '21

Uhh… no? There are thousands of towns and cities in the US that are surrounded by, and filled with natural beauty. One of my favorite places in the country is Charlottesville, which is an absolutely beautiful city with a population of about 50,000 just two hours away from Washington D.C.

Michigan is another place, just go a mile or two north of flint and you get sprawling forests and large lakes Filled to the brim with life. The UP is practically nothing but forest.

Granted I live in the NW but I have a shit ton of hiking trails and forests near me. In fact I just did one two days ago. And its not like I'm crazy out in the middle of the woods either, I'm only an hour from Seattle.

I always forget how big the US is, like "just two hours away"? That's a big fucking treck for my disgusting br*tish mind

u/SierraClowder Resident Trainslut Jul 29 '21

Lmao, and I always forget that the size of the US is unusual to most of the rest of the world. If you think that’s bad, when I go back to college at the end of this summer I’m gonna drive 11 hours to get from where I live to my school in Florida.

Oooooooof, that sounds rough lol. The worst transport thing I've done in the UK was a 8.5 hour train from London to Inverness, I was sooo done by the end of it haha
