Lack of history.
In LA I've been told that old buildings are demolished to build new ones.
Something 50 years old is an historic landmark there.
We have a history it's just that the Europeans who came over murdered most of the people who knew it.
Call 911 I just witnessed a murder ๐
Not just that...the Spaniards purposefully destroyed written histories of entire cultures and civilizations in Mexico and South/Central America.
While we don't have nearly as cool old architecture like other continents, buildings/houses from the 70s are all over. I think most historic buildings tend to be closer to 100+ years old, which is almost half the age of the country.
In America 100 years is a long time, in Europe 100 miles (160km) is a long distance
As an American it's always been really cool and humbling to travel and see still-standing structures older than my country
They have highways on their place
