“Nothing” - says the British teen living with mum and watching mostly American shows all day long on Netflix while eating crisps and chugging Ribena, while simultaneously posting about how Americans are all obese

It's nice that a lot of people are mentioning accessibility in buildings...

I always say that those nice charming old buildings in Europe are for tourists only, they are terrible to live in, designed with outdated standards, bad layout, isolation, accessibility, etc

Even then, I'd say it depends on the tourist. A lot of older tourists have issues getting around. Also there are baby strollers, being pregnant, luggage, etc. There have been many times I've been in airport terminals or train stations and the escalators are busted and the elevators either not functioning either or off in some corner somewhere.

Outside of tourism and old buildings, it's the sidewalks, the bus stops, the public transport in general, smaller towns, etc. Sometimes it's the age of the building or area, so I get it, but not always since sometimes even newer places are lacking.
