As a European, much of this was mind-boggling to me. While I believe all of this is real, I still found myself wondering throughout the video: Is this actually the norm in the US, or are these some cherry-picked bad examples? It felt for me like a whole other level of systemic hostility.

    These "boulevards" are properly called stroads and need to all be demolished.

      I thought that's what the guy in the video said but I chalked it up me not hearing him right lol.
      Never heard of stroads before. Thanks
