France is a shit hole compared to most US cities, and I'm VERY well traveled. Spain? Absolutely the opposite. Cleanest cities I've ever seen and some of the nicest architecture too.

This crap isn't a monolith, and the US has plenty of good mass transportation systems.

I’ve been to parts of Spain that have graffiti. Barcelona has plenty, Madrid is spotless - of course that depends on the part of town, too.

The point was that you can arrange pictures to look like whatever you want most of the time, not to actually criticize any one country.
