[quote=Anonymous]The biggest factor is schools. In a lot of foreign countries kids mostly go for private schools anyway. I think another big factor is food supply. It’s such a pain to go shopping in cities other than New York (which has better food sources in the city for whatever historical reasons). In other countries people can easily pick stuff up on the way home—they also are more likely in some countries to have staff that can do this. There are historical reasons why America ended up with the big grocery store system — there’s a good freakonomics on kt. It does have a lot of benefits—I know Europeans that are in awe of our supermarkets. But they really only work for suburban living.[/quote]
