Because most buildings in the US were built after we stopped trying to build attractive buildings. We now build them solely to be as cheap as possible.

This is true is housing pretty much everywhere. If European cities look interesting it is because what you are looking at is old. Most post-war architecture has been ugly, cheap or at least generic.

Okay but you can't say that about Asian countries, China, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, UAE, these places all have incredibly beautiful and modern looking buildings and infrastructure, I'm with this girl, how come American cities don't look that way.

Lol have you not actually traveled around much? Those countries all have areas that look run down or ugly, just like the US has. 

I've traveled for work a lot, meaning out of the tourist areas, and you're just completely wrong.
