If you don't think it's a loss that ALL our towns now look ~exactly~ the same, then you'll undoubtedly be very pleased in the new America. I do think we've lost something.
Maybe you need to travel more. Having lived in Ft. Worth, New Orleans (before the hurricane), Chicago, and Milwaukee, believe me, other than the shopping strips they don't look the same when you really drive around. An example, with frugal Polish/German ethnicity there are more duplexes in Milwaukee than anywhere. New Orleans had houses on stilts.
