Whats your thoughts on it?
The place is all around inconsistent af but in every part of the country the lifestyle just seems to lack the standard of living we have in Australia. Like for instance, San Fran is just a massive Redfern with more carjackings, Charlotte is like if an already car-dependent Sydney suburb had even less public transport, Washington dc is just a sprawled canberra, philly's cbd lacks, but new york is pretty lit ngl. Those are the cities I've been to.

Overall, there aren't any American cities with a mix of warm weather, beaches, public transport, and a historic, vibrant cbd like we do in Sydney. There's always some trade-off.

I can agree that the standard of living is nothing compared to Australia. Although, I sure do miss living in FL and with the 2nd amendment.

Sydney is a vibrant CBD? Lol Virtually any major US city has better nightlife than Sydney

regardless of whether it’s ”THAT bad”, the fact that people have the right to carry guns anywhere that they could use if you make them just a little bit too unhappy is idk, a bit scary? controversial take ik

I don't agree with open carry laws, but I do believe that people have the right to self defence, especially when protecting your property.

they ought to have stronger gun policies. like on who can have a gun-carrying license because the most of the people that cause the shootings already had a prior criminal history or actually had mental disorders or both. The reason why the founding fathers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secon...nal version by the,changes made by the Senate wanted "people to bear arms" is because of situations like these https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Inejirō_Asanuma which was similar to something in the news recently (although politically inverted). Because it is the threat itself that deters the politician from simply transgressing how they want, when they want.
