The USExceptionalism in Many Ways Is Well Justified

Car culture in the United States and suburb culture really harms children's ability to kind of establish themselves because they're stuck in the house. In Amsterdam, your 10-year-old can go and with his bicycle, he can go to all of his friends' houses,. And so you can encourage greater independence at an early age in a city that has good infrastructure versus other things. I don't have a hard line position on this because sometimes people who attack the United States as being an insular country are wrong about the way that they do that.
