Lol, do you not realize yet that the average American dreams of owning a McMansion way out in the burbs with a walled off backyard for them and their relatives and friends. They aren't interested in cities. Why do you think the US is in the fix it is in. Cities here can't build rapid transit, cause the people won't pay for it with taxes. They like driving in their own cars, their own backyards, blah blah blah.
That trend is reversing. Apparently millennials, unlike their parents, are becoming more attracted to urban settings.
Well, here's one my dad told me when I was little:
A 11-yo girl sucking a lollypop sat across a middle-aged man in a commuter train. Suddenly the train took a swift turn and went into the tunnel. The girl's lollypop fell on the floor, and after the tunnel she picked it up. The man asked the girl "did your lollypop catch any hair?" The girl replied... "not yet".
A classic is this one. And true thing is that we have an annual folk music festival (this snj90 kind of crap) in a small rural place called Kaustinen. Well, captain obvious, where is the Jewish folk music festival held at? HoloKaustinen of course!
Until they're priced out and realize the suburbs aren't so bad. I think it's a temporary blip.
The suburbs are great for raising a family, I just don't like the sprawl and loss of land. That's why I prefer suburbs become denser, less spread out, and manage land better. The city on the other hand is much better for young millennials looking to enjoy the social aspects and lifestyle of a busy city such as Chicago, NYC, Seattle, and Los Angeles. Suburbs are not a great place for anyone without a family imo.
We have a saying like "like being struck by an axe" meaning that you're really surprised, but IDK if it's translatable to English.
But knowing how hideous Finnish humour is, it won't take long before someone nails it.
Germans should carry axes to fightback against ax attackers.
