> infrastructure to live an enjoyable life is there
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but living in the US ain't exactly like Escape from New York or Escape from LA. For every Mississippi there is an analogous place in Europe, and for every Liechtenstein there is an analogous place in the US. I'm not sure if your comment is a counterargument or neutral commentary.
Name a single metropolitan area in the US with infrastructure on par with any single European one.

Neither are true.
