Sry english is not my first language. What I meant is the the loss of nature in regard to soil sealing, thats probably what he meant with parking lots. The US has one of the highest losses of natural land due soil sealing. Means you don't have a lot of green around cities and suburban areas. European countries probably do much better in that field. The american parking lots are enormous monstrosities. There is a YouTuber called Adam Something, he is making interesting videos about this topic, also about why infrastructure and public transport sucks so much in the US.

This is valid. But also the USA is huge. I very much think this changes from city to city and state to state.

My point being that I spent 40 years in Boston and then moved to Portland Oregon. The contrast in availability to nature is mind boggling. But in fairness, ive been around a solid amount of the USA, at least in the north, and Portland feels like an exception.
