I went to Paris in 2014, and found the city cramped and unwelcoming. Narrow staircases, tiny chairs, and compact showers were just the beginning.

I wonder if she realizes that she went to one of the oldest western civilization cities. Narrow roads and tiny staircases were the way those cities organically grew 1,000 years ago. The Romans built many of those roads for their chariots to traverse.

She should try going to colonial America, where she will find more narrow winding roads and small buildings.

The world wasn't built to accommodate her.

Not according to her entitled summary. She felt "disrespected".

Indeed. And nor should it be.

And her wide load would never make it up the stairs in a Victorian London house.

Try going to Ford’s Theater in Washington. We were a much smaller people back then.

Most of Paris was built by Napoleon III in the 1870’s there is almost none of the medieval city left. It’s a lot better than say London or Rome.
