As someone who was a long time expat in several countries I am a bit intrigued by a bunch of the responses. There's definitely, unquestionably, elements of wishful thinking combined with grass is greener on the other side of the fence mentality going on here, along with strong political blinders.

My own two are:

1. Lack of an European style mass transit network. Love being able to hop on trains feeding into regional trains feeding into local transits to get to most places. Switzerland is amazing in this regard.

2. While doesn't affect me directly, cost of higher education is clearly an issue for the country, so will let this be the number 2.

Switzerland is about the size of Vermont. Most Americans could walk across that.

Could they, though? We are a profoundly sedentary culture.

Car centric and too busy.

- Gun culture
- Lack of education/low intelligence

I realize this is a small sample size but with so naming naming "gun culture," why can't a real, legislative change take place for better guardrails re guns?

Most Americans are overweight and have a hard time walking across a Walmart parking lot.
