North America, and Americans in particular, love to claim everything big. Big restaurants, big malls, big cars, big highways, big buildings, big country.
Except efficiency is somehow forgotten. So you get 12 lane highways that are constantly clogged with traffic. 100 floor office buildings that have lineups at the elevator between 8-9 and 17-1730. Strip malls that you have to get to by car even if you live next door. And transit that gets you nowhere.
We must live in different Americas.
There are 4 or 5 different Americas, maybe more.
