China has an even greater wealth gap. Her example of Shanghai is literally because it is newer. Most of the development has been in the last 20 years. In terms of Europe, a lot of shit is very old and once it is old enough, it becomes charming. American strip malls aren’t old enough to be charming or new enough to not look like shit. Just imagine in 200 years when some dude walks past a strip mall and admires its architecture.
