And, funfact, Finland has lowest population of homeless people, because the government built appartments to give them a place to live in dignity

Smoking is banned indoors in public places in europe

Most European cities are very old, which is why they have a distinct "historic center" where, in the old days, everything happened: markets, administrative buildings, etc. As the population grew, so did the cities, expanding outwards. But they managed to recreate a center point in each and every suburb that features all the basic commodities, which saves those who live there from having to go downtown to get their basic needs.

Smoking was banned in bars and restaurants, in Italy, twenty years ago.

In the UK, we also have Town centre's. It's a thing, not just big cities, everywhere even small town's have a 'centre'

I did not know that American cities don't have an obvious 'centre'. I'm very used to the European setup, with, these days, mostly pedestrianised centres.

States don't have city centres, cities do. It's in the name.

In Sweden you are not allowed to smoke at public places. Most resturants, shopping areas. busstops, trainstations, well pretty much every where. We also have a lot of apartment complex that do not allowe smoking inside or outside. Smoke give me headaches so i love this options and choices.

City center of California ????? I don't get it !

What you said about the "city centre of California" made absolutely no sense, because no one would ever ask about the "city centre of the Czech Republic", but you would ask about the Prague's city centre. So the more appropriate example would be "Los Angeles city centre" which would also be a valid question. Also, the US is smaller than Europe.

In the Netherlands the number of smoking people is decreasing year on year. You hardly are allowed to smoke anywhere. Smoking is prohibited in public places, pubs, shops, restaurants, public transport (including railway stations). So if you see people smoking it will be outside.

Concerning smoking... ever considered that you have that impression because 1/ you spend more time outside, which is one of the rare places in most countries that one are allowed to smoke 2/ you spend your time in tourist areas, where there are lots of tourists, a far bit of them will be smokers. If you look at the stats you'll see that it greatly depends on where you are in Europe In 2021, 11.5% of U.S. adults were smokers Among the EU Member States, the share of daily smokers ranged from 6.4 % in Sweden and 9.9 % in Finland to 23.6 % in Greece and 28.7 % in Bulgar. Italy is one of those countries that are below the EU average of 19%

Fu' fact about smoking in Europe it's forbidden to smoke in public space except outside that why you see a lot of person smoke in europe

He talks about a city or a town , don't t confuse it with the whole state of California

There is no such thing as hatred towards the USA in Europe. In Europe, the ignorance of Americans is rather laughable. I remember that in 2014, 6 American helicopters had to land in the Polish Pomerania region near the village of Nowa Wiś due to fog. They were shocked when the locals came to them with coffee and cake. So there is no hatred . I have a center even in the village where I live kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ha5xg9Wotp20pKc.html 😁

I remember recently watching s reaction of yours of czech gun laws, now this tragedy has happened to Prague. Makes some of us czechs wonder If it's still enough restriction and control.

In Japan, when there is a earthquake or similar disaster, people leave their car keys in their cars and evacuate, so when emergency services need to move their cars for some reason, they can. And people seem to be comfortable doing that.

I knew the US was't the cleanest country but damn! thats alot of trash to have lying around, not to mention all the homeless people, giving them a house and a simple job would help SO much. I also did't know US cities had a city center, i mean, here every village to city has one since it works and it makes it easier for travelers to find their way around. And then there's all the false advertising out there, films are one thing but the fact even the city itself tries to lie to u to cover up their mistakes says volumes about those in charge. As for theme Parks, those are all the same no matter where u go and its a golden rule to NEVER go to one on a holiday, better go at the end of a season couse then even the ticket price might be lowered and of course u can walk everywhere with minimal waiting lines. Went to Euro-Disney back in the 90's and we did exactly that and it saved us SO much money!

Hi guys , you have to take into account the age of our cities compared to the u.s a lot were established hundreds of yrs ago, hope you have a great Christmas and best wishes for the New year .❤ from England 😊

Us Aussies don't even smoke in our own houses anymore. We went to Las Vegas this year for my wife's work (conference) and me and my son ended up staying in Boulder City. the smoke was overwhelming in the motels in Vegas

Is it all fake, what we get to see from the USA?

During many visits I found LA to be quite unique as it’s all spread out with no centre. Unlike many many cities around the world, it’s sort of robs it of having a heart.

Switzerland has one of the safest and richest population in the middle of europe , but what is not said is they trow away homeless people (At least from the center or tourist spots ) so the numbers are flawed , and its very closed work environement like you have to know someone to get jobs , its always concerning to see homeless diseapear over night . in france we have some homeless and sometimes refugees , but overall everyone can have a social housing if they make the paperwork , some prefere not . But villages of homeless its unbelievable in a non 3rd world country .

I've heard Hollywood (where the sign is) is not a great place to visit. A lot of out of work actors and homeless people there, apparently. Someone who visited called the place depressing.

In Australia, the spoon in a McFlurry is a straw, well it used to be anyway, haven't had it in years.

No place in England is further than 73 miles from the sea which is a lot warmer than the freezing Pacific Ocean. The Bay Watch cast have my greatest respect. Regards locking car doors I have never seen anyone lock one in the multitude of US films I have watched or if there isn`t one in the ignition there is usually one behind the sun visor .Even then the car refuses to start as the creature approaches.

Why would a STATE has a CITY center? Of course this comparision makes no sense 😅😂

.... Same here in Germany.. Ask someone at the,, Reeperbahn,,.. Are they from,, Hamburg,,?... 🥴

I think my mum couldn't understand why there wasn't any cutlery on her only visit to Macdonald's

City center of Amsterdam is avoided by the locals for the same reason

19:01 London, Paris or Rome are cities comparable in size to San Francisco and, in contrast, have beautiful historic centers. But what else can you ask for if, for understandable reasons, there is neither Gothic nor Renaissance in this country, and building development begins with the classicist style from the 18th century or cheesy imitations of ancient buildings.

Well actually here in Finland you can leave your vehicle running outside and propably anyone won´t touch it. You might see that if delivery guy delivers something small or taxi driver is helping his/her customer, those cars might be running outside and the doors aren´t locked. And yes, that is great point in his video. Here in Europe (also here in Finland) when you go to some other city to "experience" it, you always go to city central. All the bars, cafes, restaurants, theatres, market squeares, history, everything is there. Other areas are more of a resident or industrial areas around the city and in rear cases at those areas might have something to see, but mostly you´ll find everything there. So it is easy if you take weekend trip Berlin, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Stockholm or what ever, you always want your hotel to be at the city central or very near so you can walk everywhere.

That was not a good point, they weren't talking about city centre of the Czech republic, or of Italy, they were talking about the centre of a certain city, you can't compare Prague, Berlin, Paris or f.e. Rome to a whole state of Southern California. I mean obviously that an entire state doesn't have one city centre, the Czech republic also doesn't have one main city centre, each city has it's own, and when there are bigger cities, they will be divided to districts and each district of the city will have it's own centre where people gather. For instance Prague has Old Town Square, Venceslas square, Lesser Town square, Letenské square, and so on ...

Hi Loners, Good reaction, as always. And here is my Season's Greetings card to you (that you'll have to go pick up on YT): "Paris Christmas Lights 2023 (with DJI Pocket 3 low light mode)" - Paris Top Tips In the Advent season in Europe, the cities glitter in wonderful lights, and Christmas Markets flourish on every square and on every street corner. Enjoy!

How can they watch movies about Vegas and not notice people smoking. It's in the movies explicitly. Las Vegas is a city of vice.

I’m from Paris et I’ve walked around the Eiffel Tower like twice in my life 😂

To be fair the missing city centers is a thing in all former "new" discovered colonies. I've been in brisbane and arlie beach in australia and non of this cities had centers in a classical european way.

You guys don't have a public space built into ur areas. The center is all public use, anything u need, square n parks to eat in, toilets, shops, information points, usually a church or castle, it's public, shared space. U don't need to buy, u can walk or visit things for free n mingle with ur community

You will NEVER see a tent in Stockholm or any other city in Sweden. The (quite few) homeless people pitch their tents or whatever in the woods nearby, or find a way to get into the basement of a building. In the summer you may see people sleeping on the sidewalk, but mostly they'll go away to a park, or under a bridge etc

ty good video

Christmas is not the right time to be sarcastic. Merry Christmas 🎉

In the UK a 4 hour drive is to the other side of the world.

2:50 we dont smoke inside in EU

Can you please react to Ren - Hi Ren? It's an eye-opening experience!

Sounds like the Death Gangs of Rio cleaning the Streets in San Francisco

we dont hide that we smoke. he is just saying that we dont make a fake façade of a place and in reality its different. even if we are chain smokers, we can still have an opinion.

I've never really been to SF, except in the game Watch Dogs 2. And I have seen a lot of movies and stuff from it. Based on that, I think its a really interesting and in parts even pretty city, at least for American standards. The problem with homeless people is not a SF problem, its all over the USA. So why should SF be a exception?

I can’t stand smoking so I like it here in Sweden

I see a lot of these types of videos, not just relating to the US, but a lot of European cities too. One thing I have noticed in the videos I've seen about US cities is the amount of litter on the streets. NY, LA, Chicago, Vegas, Philly, "Frisco, even DC all have huge areas covered in litter. And they throw garbage bags on the sidewalk for collection and they sit there for god knows how long. Doesn't anyone clean the streets in US cities? They are disgusting. I'm from Australia, and NONE of our cities are like that, the citizens wouldn't tolerate it. Clean up your act America.

I'm an American. (I know its awkward.) I have lived in England for over a decade. I do not feel bad about going back to the US. My Grandparents are English so I have travelled between the US and UK a lot. If the people in the US have a problem with how the country is run why not do something about it? (other than scowling on KZfaq while scrounging for subs?)

America is; the beaches, Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Yellowstone, Sequias/Redwoods, Zion, Shasta, Glacier, Grand Teton, and Arches National Parks, Alaska...most of those are with unique features existing only in the US! Most Americans love open spaces and freedom! If they can afford to leave the mega-cities and relocate to some country home - they will. Remote workers are moving to small towns or country homes with good satellite communications. Farmers and ranchers are not flocking to the cities for a better life - they are staying home where life is actually much better. Suburbs are still viable for working folks living and working in the cities, like cops, teachers, store owners, lawyers, etc... The sad reality is that the US is slowly destroying the concept of cities which are becoming traps for poor people without marketable skills or homeless and/or mentally ill!

We thought Yanks were chain smokers.

Communicating with your community sounds good, but ideas need to be acted upon and as the US spends the lowest % on public services than any developed nation (a few developing ones) there is never any $ allocated to those actions..

You guys do one thing some reactors do wrong, your the main screen, and the video you're watching is small, swap it, make the video you're watching the main event and you guys smaller, viewers prefer that.

Nah, where i live in Australia, i leave my door unlocked when i go out for hours, America for you, everyone has guns, lock all your doors 24/7, may as we commit a crime and be in jail lol... but wait gun laws don't work....

All the homeless people are gone .. because : Trump Industries proudly present : "Squid Game" this time directly from San Francisco.

No Europe smoking inside buildings and public places prohibited for a long time and drinking alcohol in public places also not legal so that’s the difference even with the chain smokers

We in the UK and the majority of the world say happy Christmas, only American's say happy holidays which is totally illogical. Holidays are what people outside the United States have in the spring or summer time to take time off work ( when I was working here in my country of England, i had an allocation of 7 weeks holiday allowance plus 1 year sick leave with 100% pay). The correct way is either happy Christmas or merry Christmas NOT happy holidays. 💂‍♂️💂‍♂️💂‍♂️💂‍♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿💙💛🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
