What country are you from that you don't have that?
I'm not the one who posted that, but I'll answer. I live in a large city in the US. Sure, we have food carts in pods all over the city, but what we don't have are several whole bustling, crowded streets that are alive with many different street food vendors, especially at night. Not all countries have them but for sure most Asian countries do and many other places that I know of (Mexico, Costa Rica). And there may be places right here in the states (NYC, Miami, LA) that have them but they aren't as common in other cities.

OK, thanks for the clarification. I see what you mean.
NYC has them during the day, some at night near transportation facilities and entertainment venues.
People who train their dogs better. In much of Europe, you’ll never have a dog lunge or snap at you like you do so often in the States. The dogs are both well-behaved and have the body language that says they are very happy pups who love going everywhere with their people.
A UK-style right to roam responsibly across private land. This is in contrast to some messy beach access rights debates in Florida right now
In the Netherlands they have a single card which can be used on all public transportation - buses, intra-city trains and trams, and inter-city trains. You touch the card to a reader on the bus or train, and it automatically deducts the price of the trip. Locals can refill the card online from their bank account; tourists can do it at a number of convenient offices. It makes getting around really simple and easy! I wish we had something like that.
NYC Metro Card can be used on subways and buses. It is refillable with credit cards/debit cards too.
I still miss the old tokens.

So nobody has public sex in other countries? I don't get why it's some problem that must be addressed in USA with big gaps in doors, but nowhere else. Also = they are often that way in office buildings, I'm skeptical that's an ongoing problem during the workday.
It's because bigger gaps mean cheaper to make and easier to install.

It's the GMO issue. Europeans don't allow GMO and the USA is flooded with them
A couple of years ago, my husband was driving and a creature passes by our car. It was nighttime so we didn't get a clear view. We couldn't figure it out. It wasn't a deer or bear, it was a wallaby!
Must be fun to see them during daylight in their natural environment.
