As an American who lives in bumfuck nowhere, I have to say that every clip you showed while describing America looks like it could have been anywhere on a list of 10 towns within a 40 minute drive. Perfect.
Come to the Mississippi delta it's so poor we don't really have businesses with parking lots but the govt will help you repair the street or your boat dock if you have the money. 85% canopy coverage so it's not actually that hot. Lots of big old houses built out of ship hulls so it will take centuries before they fall over. We have extremely fast cheap internet. If you dig the spooky kinda Gothic vibe and work on the internet you can live a good life here. And there are beautiful white and black girls here but most of them move away. Greenville or Yazoo City
Yeah I want out of this place. At least I want to be in a place where I won’t be stoned to death for being gay or having any kind of leftist opinions. I wish I could go to Germany and then tweet how great America is from an apartment in Berlin.

10:30 as an American, I think you are completely incorrect. Whenever I see an untouched, pristine mountain lake, I shed a tear at the thought of there not being a Walmart Superstore with a McDonalds, KFC, Burger King, Wendy’s, and every other fast food chain in the parking lot.
The scenery for me always feels incomplete without an ugly corporate office building or a drug company campus
The American urge to build a Walmart with a 1000 car parking lot on the Swiss alps
100% accurate, I'm an American who lived abroad from age 12-28, and I moved back to the U.S. in 2019, and man have I been missing Europe ever since. It really does feel very lonely and isolated here, and Americans in general don't really socialize like how they do abroad. I've basically gone from being extremely social going out with friends constantly and meeting new people, to being a loner shut in, who sits at home all the time. I'm not as fit and healthy as I use to be abroad either, and it's made me pretty depressed.
I'm dying to got back.
I think it’s the Levittown style suburbs that are boring and isolate people. Car dependent suburbia are bad for your health and socializing with people. There are walkable cities in the United States and walkable usually pre ww2 suburbs that are transit oriented and nice but expensive. The walkable cities I know with transit are Philly ,DC,NYC , Boston ,Chicago
Also San Francisco,Portland and Seattle. But most of these cities are expensive or only going to be affordable for the next few decades before rents go way to high. Philly is cheap now but in the future I’m not sure if that would be the case.DC isn’t super high but also not super low it’s nothing like Boston or nyc
Unlike America having a select number of walkable cities the many European countries have a massive overwhelming amount of walkable cities with them all being very walkable and the majority having great expansive public transit.
@@TheAmericanCatholic i use to live in NY and would go into the city a lot with my family, and I would say it's nearly as walkable as Europe's cities, as well as my old hometown there being on that predates WW2 and even the things that I considered walkable as child were quite a long walk away comparing it to where I use to live abroad.
Cause aside from having stuff with in 5-15 minutes walk away, the public transport was waaaay better so you could get to further places easier. I actually remember using my bike to get to work everyday, cause it was faster than using a car or public transit.
I personally like the peace and quiet of the suburbs here, but I'd say its really the public transportation that's severely lacking in most places, and lack of more scenic city/town spaces. Like his critique of huge parking lots is accurate af. There very few towns and cities with a beautiful walkable area full of restaurants parks and small businesses. Like where I use to live abroad the name for such places was basically a combination of the words for sidewalk and street in their language, cause it was like pedestrian streets with no cars.
And it was typically a very pretty scenic part of the town or city, where you just enjoyed being there hanging around.
Not to mention where I live right now there is a lack of like big parks too.
If you look on the map you would think there are many all over the place, but nope, they're all golf courses. And the golf courses look nice and are very well maintained, but abroad I don't remember many golf courses, I can recall 1 from were I use to live, and around the town and cities there were nice parks for the public to hang out in and do what ever scattered through out. And sometimes there were nice little cafés in those big parks. And these things weren't in like just 1 side of town, its was more designed like they thought of each neighborhood being grouped together to create a town, rather than a huge grid town/city that gets sectioned out on a map.
@@momo1234368 the 1950s and 1960s were a disaster for the United States when it came to urban planning. Historic buildings by American standards being bulldozed for big highways in cities where they don’t belong. Massive urban renewal and the unwalkable Levittown suburb being copied instead of good walkable suburbs.

Fun fact: Walmart once tried to set up stores in Germany but failed. Therefore, there are beautiful landscapes in Germany and the cities aren't 90% parking lots.
You just envious because you don’t have enough room to build massive parking lots in Europe, you are just too crammed, that’s also why you can’t get fat, you wouldn’t fit in your punny countries.
Yeah but you're also missing out on department stores, which are pretty nice.
@@epicow_1973I really don't want to be the bearer of bad news here but Walmart is not the only department store on this earth.
@@vio9105 Yeah but Walmarts are a lot larger than other department stores. They're pretty nice.
@@epicow_1973 As someone who has been in a few Walmarts before and is therefore aware of its size: I'd hate to be the bearer of bad news again but Walmart is indeed not the only very large department store on this earth.
But in all honesty, naturally as good as every country in Europe also has big department stores.
E.g. in Germany it's called Metro.
But you obviously don't go there for everyday shopping. It's rather for when you need a lot of supplies at once, e.g. for a party or event or whatnot.
Additional we just have no need for big stores to be our go-to supermarkets, as we have no need for the "wandering around the isles" aspect and as we also have no need for supermarkets to have everything one would possible need to buy in stock. Those needs are both fulfilled through having walkable cities with many easily accessible smaller shops that mainly specify in selling one specific thing and also through shopping centers/malls that haven't died out like they did in the US.
As a Russian who moved to Canada, I have to say that whole not having to fight in a war thing is pretty neat. There is Wallmart with a giant parking not too far from me, though, so there's that.
I'm lucky though, I live in one of those "suburbias" where there are still stores and restaurants in 5 - 10 minute walk distance, so I still need a car, but I don't need to use for everyday trips (also, I like driving so it isn't a big problem).
As a Brit who moved to Amsterdam, I can confirm it is kino.

as a fellow Eastern European from Romania that moved to study and work in Germany now since 10 years I can only say I'm struggling to be socially integrated, I don't feel like I belong between Germans at all, and I'm looking at my high school mates get married and have families while I'm struggling to not be depressed. Sure there's some other internationals and romanians as well but it's not the same as when I'm back home.
Don't forget the positive aspects about your country, your friends, your social life, the opportunities to get married even. Here I feel like there's no chance and I'd have to go back home if I want to give it a try
I've been 5 years now in Scotland, I've lived in Italy and Austria for 15 years, visited most of Europe, but man I will never ever talk shit about our home Romania ever again, sure it's corrupt it has plenty of issues, but the UK is just the biggest pile of garbage I have ever witnessed, forget about York or some decent places it's still bad even if you're rich. Considering the upright trajectory of Romania's future I think we should just go back and start building towards a better future for us and our children. Wish you all the best brother!
I (German) would love to see if you guys bullied the remaining G-Wagon politicians out of office at home :D, it's just sad if too many young Eastern Europeans abandon their homecountry and leave it to the old and corrupt

Gattsu, I just wanted to thank you for such a well put together video and remind you that not all Brits are uncultured when travelling. Why, just last month the chaps from the polo club and I went for a little getaway on the obscure and quiet island of Ibiza. The flight there was slightly strange in that we were forced to share an aircraft cabin with actual members of the public. Worse, it took ages to unload our baggage, since we had brought our polo saddles as a little jape, and also our horses. At the hotel the staff flew into a rage when we tried riding up the main stairwell to our bedchambers. Bertrand attempted to explain the situation to the manager but it turned out the manager was fluent in neither Ancient Greek nor Latin (!!!). The next morning we were forced to breakfast on flakes of corn since apparently the hotel did not see fit to serve boar meat, nor mead. Well, you can imagine how that went down with the chaps. Barnaby began repeatedly blowing on his hunting horn to communicate his dissatisfaction. Archibald went frantically searching for a telegraph to contact the embassy. A dark cloud of intolerable service and frankly outrageous culinary standards had descended upon us and we jointly pledged not to suffer any further indignities. Barnaby was tackled by the manager almost immediately and removed from the premises - hardly Queensbury Rules, no? Archibald returned, reporting the hotel didn't even sport a telegraph machine, then promptly began screaming Land of Hope and Glory until he suffered a hernia and was taken to receive medical attention. Myself, I drank my father's entire hipflask of palo cortado sherry and took up a quill to contact all of Winston Churchill's living descendants to see if they might render assistance. In the end only one wrote back, and calling me a 'prick'. I may not, in good conscience, recommend Ibiza.

As someone who lives in America, WHYYYYYY, WHY THE FUCK DID WE LET THESE “PEOPLE” DESIGN OUR CITIES. We had one job, just one. Our cities used to look fucking awesome with amazing public transport. But no, apparently we needed cars and we needed to use them all the time. Every day I wish for an at least semi-decent politician to run on public transportation and better infrastructure. Please, the other problems like the military industrial complex, the lobbying and the wealth inequality can wait. Just give me livable cities. I live in Modesto (CA), respectfully, it sucks ass here. I love my home and I love the state I live in, but mannnn. If we just had more bike lanes, maybe repurpose some roads into tram or light rail services… If only.
As an american, I think we should ban cars so everyone has to walk/bike everywhere (even to the nearest Walmart, I did that and it took an hour lol)
This man made an entire 15 minute video speaking about the wonders of Western Europe and didn't even mention Spain or Portugal. As a Spaniard I agree with the fact that we're rather part of Africa.
Or part of Mexico, as some americans would say
As a Spaniard that came a few months ago to the netherlands to get a good salary from being a masters graduate, i love Spain and the quality of live there, but here im earning more than twice the money so yeah, if hes talking high salaries, we dont qualify.
Which is funny considering the fact a lot of Brits view living in Spain as the same way our Georgian G sees what it's like to live in the land of honey and milk

as a dutch guy i feel like i take my country for granted sometimes. it takes videos like these to remind me that my living conditions are not normal for the rest of the world.
All of us in the west take our countries for granted. When it's gone if ever we will blame ourselves so hard.
I drove from Italy to Amsterdam a couple summers ago. I’ve never been to the Netherlands before and it’s now my favorite place in Europe lol
Nederland is beter dan we dachten
That's not normal. I lived in NL for 6 months and the fact that the infrastructure blocks you from overtaking a slow car drove me fucking insane. Also my bike got stolen. Shops closing at 5PM or even earlier in some days. No 24h shops, no nothing. Even gas stations aren't open at night. Music clubs closing at 1AM and asking everybody to leave when the place is still fully packed. However by far the worst thing is not being able to buy a good quality piece of raw meat for BBQ and the closest bakery with normal bread is probably in Germany.
@@davidzvo Ja makker
came across this channel and i was blown away great essays
Gattsu, European cities aren’t well planned. In fact, during the Industrial Revolution cities expanded so hard that the infrastructure was shittier than the US now, they fixed that by compacting their cities. The US grew up independently during the Industrial Revolution and is almost as big as the entirety of Europe. Naturally they use cars. The US also subscribed to a pro-corporation economic policy and it resulted in mass production of cars (the US being the first modern nation to do so) so yeah, European cities are compact and favor public transit because they grew up differently.
Rip Gattsu. I guess he had to re-upload after the IRS caught onto his advice for tax fraud
The UK doesn't actually get most of it's energy from Russia that's the funny thing. We just have such a horrific privatised energy system that when prices on the continent shot through the roof our companies basically said we have to pay that or they will just go and sell it there LOL.
I mean I pretty sure Netherlands was worse than the UK for gas reliance in Russia and their prices have rocketed more

As an American who moved to the UK, it's great here. My university looked like a freaking mansion with a secret garden, the food is WAY better quality, funny but honest people, and the forests are gorgeous and awesome to LARP in.
Also... I started randomly falling asleep when I was 12, USA health insurance didn't cover a sleep study. I suffered through high school, I was secretly suicidal and everything. Then I moved to the UK. Within 6 months I was diagnosed with narcolepsy and on treatment. I even had doctors apologise because I had to wait for the sleep study... I was like, nah, you're good bro, I got no help for 6 years in America so I can wait a couple more months here. I don't like Brexit, the conservative councillors in my town who don't believe in biking or recycling, and the moral panics the Brits keep importing from America, but the UK can take my damn taxes. It hurts to see the money go but it's a small price to pay for the happy, healthy life I lead.
But yeah, never live in or near London. Right shithole.

I've just moved from Hungary to the Netherlands half a year ago. While studying full time in a university, I have more money to spend than anyone in my family of software engineers, lawyers and consultants. Even with homesickness and my gf staying back home, I'm a lot happier here overall.
I am very happy to hear that my friend welcome to Netherlands you will have it great here 🇳🇱🇳🇱
I think what people forget that if you start working, you offset housing easily. In Hungary you earn 1k eur net if you're lucky, but the average downtown flat in Budapest is like 500 eur. After groceries, you are close to 300-400. Good luck with that. I rather live somewhere where i earn more than 2k net and spend around 1k for housing.

As a Romanian, I can’t wait to go to Germany for that 2k per month payroll in the asparagus fields
As a Romanian who considers themselves middle class and who's had multiple opportunities to leave the country but didn't, I want to give my two cents about an issue.
I completely agree with the fact that Western Europe has incredible looking cities but you didn't touch the sensitive point of housing there. There is no way in hell I'll move to the Netherlands for example and share my house with other people, even if they were my friends. This is a story I heard so many times from people I know who moved there (uni and work), they either didn't have enough money to rent an apartment for themselves (understandable if student) or there simply were no any apartments available. To me this is complete hell. Their cities might have the most beautiful, most clean buildings, but what's the point if inside them there are multiple people / families living together? Might as well be homeless and admire the city all day all night. Another thing about housing is the huge deposits you need to rent something. A high school friend who went to Denmark to study told me she had to give 3 times the rent as a deposit AND the landlord didn't give them back because they found some "defect" somewhere. Heard that that's pretty common... And the fact that many people in Western Europe (poor/middle class) have to share their intimacy with others because even though for our Eastern European standards they earn much more money than us baffles me. Hell, here in Romania 95% of people own their home (or the bank, but still, they don't pay rent).
Idk... I very much prefer to look for opportunities in Romania, to earn as much as I can and live okay. Communist apartment block, ugly on the outside and cozy on the inside. For reference, I pay 300 euros/month for a two rooms apartment in the central Bucharest.
Commie blocks have a sort of humbling charm to them, I dont understand the ugliness as I see them as beautiful, even with their flaws. I do agree, I'd rather live in one of them than share some small space with a handful of individuals.
Around 70 percent of the people in the netherlands own a home just a fraction of the homes are rent homes but yes the cost of living is high and its not always easy to move here and get a stable life going but ive seen lots of people do so succesfully
If Western Europe was so good, why the f#$* do they move to Australia, and New Zealand en masse, literally as far away as possible.
@@hipbubble7685 Basically if you are inheriting a home or grew up in the system, it's great. If you have taken half a decade or so to buy into the system, also great. But after that...not so great.
Unironically communist city planning was very intelligent and the quality of the buildings is still better than modern architecture
I love how the last five minutes of this video was simply a hilarious urbanist rant. Thank you Gattsu. You've gained a new sub
I like how you tell it like it without watering it down. Keep up the good work.
Dutch public transport is overrated as fuck. Step outside of the major cities and you have to drive anyway. 40km with car 45 minutes. With public transportation almost 3 hours💀💀💀
“How much to stay in the Swiss hostel?”
“If you have to ask, you can’t afford it.”
Looooool at the Serbian holding up Putin’s picture bit, I never thought about it like that but that is mad funny.
I accidentally stumbled upon your video; it's top quality. It was like listening to myself talk about public transport and bike vs car in city centers. Greetings from Serbia (no hard feelings about the old man carrying Putin's picture comment, fully deserved :) )
just discovered this channel and love it you mentioned NFKRZ and not only bikes.

Hey as a swedish individual I would like to point out that gas prices have increased a lot here, and from what I hear it is the same in many other countries as well. So not so sure about that part, but good video
Yeah, prices went up everywhere because of the drastic drop in supply. But the problem (not just prices but also access to gas) is bigger in countries that relied on Russia more. In places like Poland we always knew that Russia might just turn the valve and cut off all of our gas supply to blackmail us because it's just how they work. But tbh we never expected them to also stop supplying western europe.
Gas prices here in the UK have gone up by at least X2.5 since the Russian invasion of Ukraine
@@odyssey.studios gas prices r pretty surprising for UK because they rely more on north sea than Russia but that's the nature of being kicked out of every trade block 🤣

Really? They went up about 70 cents here in Switzerland at the start of the war, but are now back down to about 30 cents more than before the war. Not really that big of issue.
as an american i like to think that we are still a european colony as we are the bigger economy but still have lower quality of life and ugly cities. its the only explanation really
I like how this video basically consists of Gattsu getting high tax exposure therapy
The thing about America with transportation is there are players “bad actors” who lobby and have deep pockets to go against efficient public transportation infrastructure throughout cities because it’s in their interests to not will lose big business
This is a video about Europe. NOT America. As you can see, the video title is literally “Western Europe.
Gattsu, I go to this university ( 4:20 ). It’s called Royal Holloway, University of London. Migrated here (Egham) from Latvia. Despite the name the university is not in London, hence it’s actually much safer and the rent here is way more lenient. In the past several years there has only been one actual stabbing in the city (it was on the campus itself) and I myself was only ever physically threatened once (I was alone outside in an unlit area at 5AM). Still not perfect but much better than London.
egh*m🤢

Im from Turkey but study in Delft and that I live in the building just across the station. Delft is very much a student town, 1/3rd of the residents are students and the university (TU Delft) campus takes up half the town as it is massive. Also getting from city to city in western europe is mad easy with Flixbus and trains. I got a bus from Amsterdam to Antwerp for 3 euros cause i bought it a week ahead. If I see gattsu in amsterdam imma shake his hand out of respect.

As a Spanish person living in London I have to say that each day the Netherlands becomes more and more appealing. The few times I’ve been there I’ve noticed the amount of people putting out what feels like genuine smiles. Everyone conveys a sense of happiness I just haven’t been able to see anywhere else so far.
@Epoxygleu Probably that too.
Be aware though that the housing market in the Netherlands is impossible. Yes, you can get a rent home (though queues are pretty long) but its really hard for low-middle to even middle income people to find an affordable house, due to the government having left housing to the free market for the previous few years (which caused alot of houses to be bought up by investors to rent them off for exorbitant prices) and not nearly enough houses being built (we're around 1 million houses short)
Dutch people are the most unfriendly people ever
I live in Spain and the only reason I’m moving to Germany is because here there are no engineering jobs, and engineers here make 1400€, that’s 200€ more than a senior McDonald’s employee 💀💀💀
We cant have "metros" here because we have certain peoples who cant behave in confined spaces. Or open spaces. Or at home...
4:39 i can tell you from experience in 2016 i went to lauterbrunnen, i visited the surrounding villages of wengen and other villages on the grunald trail. you know it is one of the most amazing places on earth when i literally recalled the place as soon as you showed it at the start of the video. unforgettable. clean air, clean streets, amazing people, amazing views and brilliant food from local dairies and farms.

Man, videos like these are what makes me unironically hopeful the US (my homeland) will shape up one day. We've faltered plenty in the past, it only takes a concerted and united effort to get this stuff done.
because your country sure is very united and concerted 🤥
Couldnt be that theres a false dichotomy that your entire media and political culture is centered around, that there's ever boiling social, religious, moral and ethnic tensions riled up by the same apparatus... keep dreaming Ameriboy theyve got your country firmly by the balls
What stuff? Low salary?
What stuff paying 39-56% of your monthly salary to taxes so you get some bike lanes and cheap metro/bus routes??
@@fatboyRAY24 Public friendly infrastructure like cycling walking and public transport like Metro´s.
I agree! If the US could better shape up their bureaucracy, we’d have the money to pay for free healthcare, and if China stops trying to compete with us, we could do wonders by taking a couple billion off the military.
as a resident of York, i'm so happy you spent that long just talking about how cool my city is. FYI we do currently have the highest rise in housing prices in all of England and Wales, so it may be beautiful, but them prices are soaring. Get a house here whilst you can mate

as a citizen of my uh 'bootiful' city known as london, my family literally had to go to qatar as a tax haven for 20 years to pay off a mortgage for a average house, as soon as I go to school in uh london, i will casually see people beating the living shit out of each other (with knives obviously) for uh, not paying for their beer, its very reasonable in these parts, the gas prices are fokin insane, my government is literally as competent as a mole digging into a t-rex's shit. I am currently learning german so I can escape this hellish landscape and actually live in a normal place for once, but I am also learning russian to live in siberia, since even siberia, is better then london and also chinese just in case. Yes , london is a damn shithole m8

American here from California; man you really nailed it my biggest issue about living in the USA, the car dependency and suburbia. I have explained it so many times to people I grew up with how this is such a North American phenomenon as I have traveled throughout East Asia and cities there while crowded, are super easy to move around (except for Manila; that's a legit sh*thole). I keep getting treated as a crazy man for saying all this because none of my childhood friends have traveled as much as I have (thanks US Navy for that; Navy veteran) and they haven't seen any alternative to this sort of life, or they embrace it and see you hating the USA if you mention it (funny how the same jingoists are almost always afraid of joining the US Military but they LOVE supporting pointless wars).
This summer I'm going backpacking across the EU and to visit my girlfriend in Austria (she's Austrian) and ill explore these same picturesque places you mentioned in the video. So excited and hopefully once I finish my engineering degree, I can permanently leave the USA and not have to endure one more second of living in a suburban craphole and having to own a car (I really hate owning a car; it's imprisoning to me). Cheers!
I completely agree. However I really don't think anything will happen to fix. There is a movement to change it. But it will probably only happen in the dense concrete jungles we call cities.
I look at my area here in South Carolina and there is absolutely no way to add walkable areas or public transit in the areas current form. You can't add a bus stop or train station outside every neighborhood. You would need a car to get to a central location and then a car afterwards. All the businesses and houses are far to separated to be walkable. Plus not very scenic on these awful stroads. Biking would also be dreadful in the rolling hills if the Appalachian Mts. With the humid summers and freezing winters. It just isn't a option. Then you would have to convince people to stop using cars and probably give up the single family homes on the scale we do.
I'm not saying it's impossible to change all this. But it certainly won't happen in my life time. Walkable areas are way to expensive to live for me and renting for years with nothing to show for it after years isn't very enticing.
The real issue is that you live in California. Ghana is an upgrade.
lmao yeah Manila is fucking hell man especially during rush hour, idc if the bus is packed as shit just let me go home
@Baron Von Jo oh I agree. I honestly don't see a way to change all this without a massive change in culture and values and that won't happen overnight. It's also undoing all the development that the USA has done since 1945 since we have developed the interstate system based out of suburbia and the associated service jobs that come with mass auto ownership. Americans who depend on those jobs and on single family homes will vote against it and never change their ways. This is even more the case outside of the traditional coastal states (i.e flyover states+Dixie).
I dont want to bother with trying to change something I know I can't do, and knowing that a majority of Americans will not support me because they're so stuck in their ways and will see me as some crazy man for proposing change.
@The Slick Listen dude, I didn't select to be from California and quite frankly, it's much better to live here than in my parents home country (Mexico). This suburban phenomenon is all over North America and it's not just a California thing. Even if I move to some "red state", the issue will be there and sometimes it's worse as those states are even more pro Car than California is. I might as well leave North America and move somewhere where I like better and Don't have to deal with rubbish suburban culture, or insane crime like in Mexico.
Bro I love ur channel I just found it last night.

the noise of american cities is real. i justed watched a video about a guy, american veteran, who was in afghanistan for few years and now lives in some shithole in siberia, because its at least quite there and living in his american hometown triggers his ptsd😭😭😭😭
Stayed in London for a few days, still a student, for the first time in my life. Saw a dude throwing a chair at someone on the street, then a fight, spent about 300pounds just on transport ( for 4 days ). Some dude came up and straight up offered drugs ( gave me a barcode to scan ). Saw malls for rich people ( don't have that where I'm from ), tons and tons of homeless people. It also seems that every shop is owned by a Pakistani or Indian person. Walked through some sketchy areas just to find out they had insane hidden pubs. The toilets in the subway reminded me of good old Soviet Union or at least what I saw at my babushka's a long time ago. Overal decent experience.
