MODERATORS
If Europe can keep their historic towns looking nice for literally thousands of years, we can keep a building for longer than 70.
The vast majority of buildings built 1000 years ago, have fallen apart already.
The ones still around were built extremely well. Much better, than our 70 year old buildings.
Survivorship Bias
a lot of 20th century construction was absolute dog shit, though.
It's a few hundred year old town that refuses to grow. It's not a historic site. It's just some old town that uses to exist due to the historic limitations of transportation.
A town that's been stagannt for 60 years doesn't yell "I'm important"
You also have a vastly different culture. With that said, I'm pretty sure the US is in the top 20 in the world for number of UNESCO sites. I guess it's not number one, but I'll sleep with that.
this just sounds like you're saying american culture is inherently worse?
