Plenty of terraces in London, although the style is different to the ones in the OP. Sash windows are mostly on the townhouses, Victorian and Edwardian terraces don't look like that either.

Terraced houses with the old yellow stock bricks can be gorgeous 2bh

You don't know much about the U.S. do you? Our middle class houses are generally bigger than European homes and like most countries the majority live near the coast (39% actually live in countries bordering the coast). No one really lives in the desert unless your some kind of religious nut.

Actually, I was surprised when I moved here that the wooden houses meme is only really true in a few places. Most homes here are solid brick. Only outer suburbs are cardboard meme houses.

What a cuck
I lived in Texas as a child and I never resorted to using American spellings.
I remember doing some English test and the teacher marked me down for using the British spelling instead of the American spelling.
I complained but she didn't have any of it. My parents complained to the teacher, my home room teacher and the Principal, and it got remarked with the British spelling being correct.
I did two years of middle school but we lived in an area with quite a few British expats, so they accepted us using British English

If I wanted a massive house in the Scottish highlands or a massive house in Alaska, It would still cost more in the UK. There's plenty of space in both of these locations, but people will pay a premium to live somewhere like the UK, America is nice, but I don't want to live knowing a gang of niggers could ransack my house at any moment. Even if it means I have to pay a bit more for the privilege. Factors like this influence property markets across the globe. And they favour the UK over America.

Holland gets it. These terraced houses, as we call them, are a relic of late 19th, early 20th century when there were a lot of active factories and mines and housing was needed. Most are being replaced with modern homes now because people don't want to live in them.

Yeah don't blame you at all. I wouldn't recommend anyone move here from another first world country and would emigrate myself if I had the skills/money to get into a decent country.

Do it. I did and don't regret it at all. Britain is a lost cause.

In the 20th century, the UK basically tarmac'ed over anything that could be covered in tarmac.
So all our highstreets, which used to be pretty places shared between horsecarts and people, are now basically big roads. Pic related.
In Europe, they have more designated town squares rather than highstreets, so they have avoided this problem somewhat, because you cannot really stick a road through a town square like you can a high street.

If you replaced all the city and town roads in the UK with cobble stones, it'd look a lot better.

The UK is the best Anglo country to live in by far to be honest. All of the poor and foreign people live in the same five places and theres a lot of variety in culture; changing massively from one place to the next. If you dont like dreary weather, simply move to the south east or south west which are both as white and rich as fuck and have good weather. Id you like cold weather and autistic people go to scotland. If you like cold weather and talkative people go up north. Just avoid the small areas of the west midlands and west yorkshire and youll not have a complaint with wherever you live as theres a place for everyone.

For the hopelessly poor, yes. They are better off in Britain because they can live off bennies. Everyone else is who isn't poverty-tier is better off elsewhere.

Kek. Wouldn't recommend it unless you consider slightly less than absolute shit weather to be a huge improvement.

>all these Brits acting like the UK is top notch

While I'll acknowlage that there are worse places to live and that there are parts of the UK that are still pretty good or even excellent, you cannot deny that this country is dying.

The toilet has already been flushed. We're just doing laps of the pan before we disappear into the sewers.

>houses
lots are ugly yes, but that can be sad of most houses in the world. when our houses are nice, they are very beautiful.

>food
this meme can go and die, we have lots of fantastic local produce and at good prices too, as well as good access to decent european stuff. In my area here, none of the local supermarkets sell mascarpone cheese, for example, I have to drive 20 minutes to the next area to buy some, at a very overpriced rate too. smoked salmon i get in the uk costs 4pounds, here it costs me $12. no wonder americans are so fat and unhealthy, all the good stuff is crazy expensive.

>people
yes sadly, 80% of everyone is 4/10 or less. i think most people in the world are just average looking, but sadly most brits are below average.

>weather
well no shit its not sunny all the time, we are very far north and an island, which makes for a lot of overcast and rainy weather. however it is not always shitty here, and it doesnt rain every day and we do get weeks of sun.

>>53272596

for some reason the typical british mentality is depressive, so lots of our programmes are self depreciating or gloomy. to be honest it does get grating but you can just not watch it, we do make non gloomy tv too.

Of course the uk has problems, but so does every country.
fucking muslims though, they ruin everything.
