So when you get America back you're going to make it look more like Europe?

A guy in my city has a house built from beer cans, now that's American architecture.

America used to look like Europe before the 1960s. Look at 1930s New York. Even the skyscrapers were built on gothic influence. We still have a few of them today. Look at the Empire State Building.

All your best architecture already took inspiration from Europe anyway. What do you mean 'make it look like Europe'? It already does.

America even it its better days never had the beauty of European cities, likely due to the lack of any aristocratic past.

Definitely not equal to -- a lot of that is due to being new -- but you can see the influence of English Manorial estates in the South, Art Deco and Gothic influence in skyscrapers in major cities and the obvious Greco-Roman influence in many State buildings. I just mean all your best architecture already was a continuation of Europe with a unique American twist.
