That house must be near me (Stallings NC).

Good point, the airports and trains in other countries are often very impressive, the houses where people actually live are not. I’m thinking of the UK and Italy, I’ve been on long bike rides in both and generally feel sorry for people there based on where they live. And the Genoa bridge that collapsed due to neglect is a sign their infrastructure is far from perfect
