They probably assumed this is like a theme park or something and not an actual city that people actually live in year round. Cities having nice, people friendly places away from cars? Who’s ever heard of that?

    There’s a Christmas market about half that size in Denver. I’ve never been puzzled about how people get there.

      No one is puzzled. This was a case of someone casually scrolling and commenting without critical thought. Which, let’s be honest, we are all guilty of that and the other guy taking the opportunity to dunk with an AmEriCa Am I rIgHt???

        Saying “I want to know how they deal with parking”, assuming they have vast parking garages and a shrug emoji is what I interpreted as puzzled. If you’re not clear it’s a reference to access to public transportation.

          I know. I was just saying that the American in the pic is only puzzled because they are mindlessly scrolling and posting on Twitter. When the time comes to go to an event like that they are also just as likely to take the train without much thought to it either

            It’s true though that many Americans have never lived in a city with functional public transportation, so they don’t even consider it. I lived in a city with a decent light rail system and it wasn’t really reasonable because I would have had to walk 1.5 miles across hellish intersections (or taken an uber?) to even get to a train station, and I lived in a fairly urban area.
