The really nice neighborhoods most people live in.

NYC apartments — all of them.

Kids living in totally walkable neighborhoods and able to roam at will at very young ages.

This isn’t unrealistic outside the US.

Random examples:

Halloween (1978) - palm trees and brown hills in Illinois

Fugitive (1993) - 400’ dam in Illinois

True Lies (1994) - chase in DC features LA skyscrapers

Little Miss Sunshine (2006) - family sets off on their trip from NM to LA; early scene in the van was clearly filmed on I-5 just north of LA with CA highway signs clearly visible out the windows.

This stuff has always bothered me.

This has bothered me since I was a young kid. The first thing we do is wash our hands when we come home.

I don’t actually think this is unrealistic. That’s definitely not the first thing everyone does.

It's unrealistic for me. It's was the norm for me, my parents, and their parents. It's also what I have taught my children. Maybe it's culture (we are Black) or regional (parents are from the south), but all my friends and family wash their hands when they come home and before eating or cooking.

I do realize that others don't do this. Its one of the reasons I will never eat at an office potluck.

Emergency Room scenes: entire families waltz into the ER desk staffed by a white uniformed nurse and immediately get detailed updates and access to patient’s room! Mary’s been admitted! She’s doing fine after being in that terrible car crash! And, she had a baby boy! He was deleivered in the ambulance! She’s in Room 1-B talking with Dr. Smith! Yes, you may all race to her bedside with your helium balloons and gift baskets that you’ve somehow obtained en route to the hospital.
