precisely. new yorkers are actually nice and helpful (in large part because cities of that size and density simply can't function with fake niceness not backed up with true niceness)

southern manners are the fedora Nice Guy of cultural mannerisms.

a lot of them live somewhere without it or with it but its a single bus that runs 4 times a day. so since its either not there or not useful theyre not gonna like it

ps europeans in places with bad transit also tend to dislike it, theres just proportionately less of em

yeah, lots of brits rely on their cars just as much as your average american, especially if they live in post-war new towns or in rural areas. there are no cases like la, though, where big cities are entirely car-centric

those aren't competing, they just happen to share similar routes.

brits commute by car at a crazy high rate too. where america is something like 85% by car the brits are like 77%
