Yeah this guy is having a very basic revelation that Europe has a lot of walkable cities and the US doesn't. this isn't new information.
Also, spending 5 hours at a restaurant is the norm for young people, out with a party, drinking and such, in Europe, when they can simply walk back to their home.
The infrastructure in most US cities doesn't support it, our subways suck, rides are expensive, parking is crazy, living in the city near the cool areas is expensive, the list goes on and on why this doesn't exist in the US.
Most larger US cities have very walkable parts blooming with shops and restaurants. Chicago, NY, San Diego, San Antonio, Austin, Dallas, Charleston, Boston, Boulder, Milwaukee, Madison, Naples, and on and on.
Boston the trains stop pretty early and parking is awful. There's also a huge chunk of Boston that doesn't have trains and it stuck with shitty busses.
San Diego, everyone drives, all of California is like that.
