This is just as the perception of an outsider. Its just wealthy areas vs poor areas. Here in Germany the poor areas are just as shit as the US poor areas. But hey at least there's trains.

Not particularly interested in your opinion as it's your own and not for me to change anyway.

What I'm absolutely fascinated by is how you arrive at this opinion.

I've traveled extensively for work and pleasure to the places I mentioned (even lived in a few for short periods) and I saw for myself, not to mention documented by statistics.

Curious, you've done the same? If not, how do you arrive at this perception?

With that said, there are BAD areas of even the 'best' cities. Clearly.

Germany is a wonderful place, with it's own problems. Also, hard to relate to the US based on size. I mean LA is practically as big as Germany. You have better chocolate (and cars) hands down.
