Think the thing I dislike most here is how many cars there are.

In Spain, the public transit is always packed like sardines in a can, because everyone uses public transit instead of driving. The streets are so full of pedestrians that we have to queue up just to cross the street, because everyone walks everywhere instead of driving.

So in that case, why are there cars everywhere? Why are there random cars driving on pedestrian streets?? Why do the cars drive at me aggressively when I'm in the middle of a crosswalk with the walk signal on???

Mystifying.

Also, no water fountains. We went to the Prado and they confiscate your water bottles - even empty ones! - at the entrance, and there's no way to get more water inside unless you buy drinks at their cafe.

We spent six hours there. It felt like playing an endurance game. How many paintings of Jesus and portraits of inbred Spanish monarchs can you see before you dehydrate and die?

I find this hard where I live atm, and I don't remember it being this bad 10+ years back. There were busy places and quiet places. Now it's nonstop traffic everywhere, and people having cars in places it makes no fucking sense. Wonder if Spain has changed the same way.

Can't speak to anywhere else, but out here in Cartown, USA, I haven't noticed much change in the total number of cars on the road but have noticed a severe decline in driving quality. During COVID, we apparently collectively decided traffic laws are just suggestions and never recovered from that.
