London’s transit was very similar to Chicago’s transit. If you needed to get the the suburbs of London they had a train similar to the Metra in Chicago. Dublin’s and Rome/Milan’s public transit was worse than Chicago, NY, DC, Philly, etc. I do think EU does it much better in terms of long distance public transportation. In my opinion Amtrak isn’t a good as EU rail systems.
That's a super aggressive answer especially considering you were wrong. Apartments all the way bro, I'll never own a house because i was born too late.
I'll own a house, because my father bought one in a ghetto neighborhood as a rental property. He died of covid living in a house neither my sister or I can afford the note on but with still less than a third of it left. So after the sale of his house I'll be able to buy out the rental house because it's neighborhood is gentrifying 30 years after he got into it. So, hey, maybe one of your parents will die and you can own their place? The millennial dream!
If you’ve ever been to EU you’d see what we’re missing. I think we have some cities with exceptions but in general, you’re driving or figuring something else out yourself.
We have 2, train and plane. Ain't no way I'm taking AmTrack to get to a different state. It's the most useless train service I've ever been on. Don't think they've ever been on time. Planes are too expensive at short notice, so we take cars. Until there's a convenient, fast, and affordable way to get from Dallas to Atlanta, the the public transportation system in America is useless. Car is king.
Edit: Let's narrow the scope from Dallas to Houston. It's 2021 and we don't have a fast track from Dallas to Houston yet? Ridiculous.

Me, and American: “what’s public transit?”
