    I’m British.

    And I’m American. Funny how neither of us knows how bad our home countries are. As you mentioned though, our cultures share a lot of problems. In terms of housing, nutrition, street safety, class issues, social stratification, and wealth inequality I don’t think it’s a one to one comparison. We have issues of a different nature on these things which is why I think it’s arguable which is better. I personally would not be able to live in the UK and I know that from experience. While I was living there it was not apparent to me in any way that it was better (other than healthcare, which is obviously better), but it was different.
