Imagine this – UCSC receives 9.8 million applications every year. The people working there? Tens of thousands, but nowhere near enough. So many cases, plus the backlog from previous years. And that’s just within the U.S. Now imagine the embassies worldwide... 🤯

🏡 Alex On America: Why Are Houses in the U.S. Built with Wood? 🏗️
Speed is everything in America! While European brick and concrete homes take months (or even years) to build, American wooden houses go up in just a few weeks. 🏠✨ Prefabricated components make the process even faster, and in a market where people move often, longevity isn’t as much of a priority as it is in Europe.
Concrete is strong, but it requires special production, reinforcement, and a long curing process. On the other hand, a wood-framed house can go from foundation to roof in a month! ⏳🔨
Would you prefer a fast-built home or one that lasts for generations? 🤔👇

Why Does America Still Build Houses with Wood? 🌪🔥🌊
Alex On America breaks it down – it’s not just about tradition, but also about Mother Nature! 🌍🌿
🌪 Tornadoes? A wooden house might break apart, but it won’t collapse in deadly chunks like brick.
🌊 Hurricanes? Wood is easier and faster to rebuild after a storm.
🌍 Earthquakes? Unlike rigid brick and concrete, wood can bend and absorb shocks, making it safer in a quake.
In Europe, brick houses make sense, but in the US, where extreme weather is common, wood is often the smarter choice. What do you think? 🤔💭

🚗💨 Alex On America breaks down how government subsidies killed walkable cities!
🏙️ Before the 1950s, public transit—streetcars and trains—was everywhere. Then came the Federal Aid Highway Act (1956). Cities changed, transit systems disappeared, and walking became a thing of the past. 🏢➡️🚘
💡 Did the oil and auto industries play a role? Alex dives into how America became car-dependent.
📢 What do you think? Can we bring walkable cities back? 🚶♂️🚊

🚗🚶♂️ Alex On America: The Car Culture Divide
In most of the world, grabbing a coffee means walking to a café on the corner. In America? It means driving to a drive-thru. 🏙️➡️🚗
Alex On America dives into how car dependency shapes daily life. In cities like Paris, Rome, or Tokyo, you can live without a car. But in Dallas or Phoenix? Good luck.
Why is walking so rare in the U.S. that people assume something’s wrong if you do it? Let’s talk. 👇

🚶♂️ vs. 🚘 – How America Lost Its Walkability
American cities were once built for people—now, they’re built for cars. 🏙️➡️🛣️ Endless highways, massive parking lots, and suburbs with no sidewalks have made driving the only option.
🔍 In this episode, we break down:
✅ How America destroyed walkability
✅ Why highways and zoning laws killed walking
✅ The real cost of car dependency—traffic, pollution, and expenses
Can America ever move away from car culture? 🚗💭 Drop your thoughts below! 👇

🚆💭 Alex on America highlights the huge gap between train travel in Europe and the U.S. In Europe, trains are cheap, fast, and reliable, thanks to heavy government funding. Meanwhile, Amtrak gets little love here, with most funding going to highways and airports. 🚧✈️
In Europe, the train is the obvious choice. In the U.S.? Not so much. 🚗

🚆 Why are European trains fast and reliable, while American ones feel stuck in time? 🤔
Alex On America talked about this – while TGV, ICE, and Ave E cruise at over 186 mph, and Japan’s Shinkansen hits 200 mph, Amtrak’s so-called high-speed Acela barely reaches 150 mph, with an average speed of just 66 mph. 😳
In America, taking a train is often barely faster than driving. What do you think, why is this the case? 🚉💭
