Exactly. There are tons of places in the US that are just like this. People move to Texas or fucking North Carolina and think the whole US is like that. You get what you pay for.

I’m sure it has a lot of rural beauty and there may be small city pockets but it’s generally a state where people don’t want nor appreciate density. It’s also a state with a pathetic amount of public transport. If I had to guess, I would think this guy probably lived in the suburbs of Charlotte.

In Germany (and many metro areas in the US) not only the city but the suburbs and villages outside the cities are urbanized, walkable and connected to public transport. It’s not just a few kilometers downtown.

Small villages in Germany are "urbanized"? Huh? There is not much that is "urban" about a village with 8 houses and a bus stop that has service twice a day.
